Ashikaga could barely contain her excitement. She had tried once or twice to go on her own adventure, but seemed to know that she shouldn't wander too far, unlike her brother. 

She listened closely to her mother's words as they walked, her eyes looking to each guard and servant as they passed. This was all so different to the world she had known so far. All of these memebers of Akashingo, here to serve her and her siblings. It made her feel important—worthy of her place here. 

The mention of their father was what piqued her interest most. She had not seen him yet, and she was nervous to be presented to him. What if he looked at her and found her lacking?

All of these complicated thoughts were taxing on her young mind, but she hid it well. She was quiet and respectful, leaning into her mother's kiss as she made her way into the pharaoh's quarters. 

She would stop in front of the intimidating man and take a seat. Ash would remain silent unless asked a question. She was still learning words, so she hoped she wouldn't be asked anything too difficult.
