Lion Head Mesa the tower

The place that Belen took him to was impressive in some way. Eljay wondered if this was dug or if it simply existed this way in nature, but he didn't ask her about it. Instead, he followed in silence as they reached - presumably - the pharaoh's home. It was a different place than Eljay himself was used to. He was just a simple family man, not so much for all the smoke and mirrors and glamour and gold. Seemed Akashingo was different than Brecheliant in more ways than just the way they thought about love.

Pharaoh was up on an elevated place, which made Eljay feel a little weird, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly why. Again he felt the stark differences between himself and this pack. He tried to push away the weird, uncomfortable feeling and be free of any preconceptions he might have about them.

Pharaoh greeted him in a friendly manner — a stark contrast, to Eljay, to the way that he was elevated above his so proclaimed ally. Teya had made an impression that even Reyes' mess-up couldn't ruin, it seemed. Eljay smiled a friendly smile at Pharaoh and said, Nice to meet you, Pharaoh. He hoped that it was alright he talked this way — hopefully, Belen would've instructed him if there was any particular way he should conduct himself, or something. Eljay felt his face heat up a little as Pharaoh asked him what Akashingo could do for him. He was just here to talk, really, he supposed. Figure out if they were any good, on Lilitu's behalf (and, perhaps, in part on his own so he could send her off with a good feeling in his heart, should she choose this path). Having no real answer, Eljay stammered, Oh — uh — I'm just here to meet you. Teya told me Akashingo was very hospitable and friendly, but I figured I should meet you for myself, too. Eljay smiled uneasily, hoping that it was no problem. He himself wasn't a very busy man, so he would never mind meeting others, but it seemed that Pharaoh might be a much busier man than he himself.
