Lion Head Mesa she eyes me like a pisces when i am weak

last post from me here!! thank you so much for the thread <3333

A wave of what could be considered relief is quick to follow the Queen's words as they hit Zaahira's ears. Many thanks, Your Highness, quivering, she bows her head once again. I serve you. I owe you many. 
It's then that she turns to the fellahin, a simple, weary smile crossing her lips. I follow you, yes? 

And as she is lead to her chamber, she is grateful to rest her travel-worn body for the first time in what must have been weeks. Sunken eyes come to a close, a small exhale of warm breath. She is safe now, and tomorrow marks the beginning of a new life as a Mazoi; but for this day, she is just a woman.
