Lion Head Mesa Khnum

Understanding does not come with haste.

Belen wished to know if she could go with Kasmut the next time she went to see the Pharaoh. The pale flower smiled and nodded her head.

Of course, you may. He will be pleased to see you. Belen, I want you only to be patient… to learn and wait. You are here and you are waiting for your father. Kasmut regarded the girl with an empathetic, almost doe-eyed expression. His name has been given to those who frequent the border. The flower did not like to speak of Belen’s father as though he would appear, for she did not believe that he would. Nevertheless, it allowed her to appear more invested in Belen than she was.

Now, tell me this. Is it not easier for a man to find a target that is not moving about? You are cared for here and you have food, comfort, adoration from Pharaoh. What am I missing, Belen?
