Lion Head Mesa ask the angels: am i heaven-bound?

fresh air helped some.

she recognized the woman! well, in the vague sense that a servant could recognize a master. this was one of the newest nebet to grace the palace. nazli had not gotten her name. the girl was red in the face and felt heat in her ears for how embarrassing the moment was.
