A'aru. 
It sounds pleasant, from what the Queen describes. If that is where Selena is, she hopes it is peaceful. She can picture what it must look like; a golden-crested utopia that mortal minds cannot comprehend, cannot handle. She wonders who would be waiting for her there, with the many she knows not of the status of. 
With the Queen's damnation of Khaba, it causes a quirk to Zaahira's brow, a lift of her upper lip in passing. He pay. In truth, she knew not what he did for the tension between the sandwolves and the lakewolves to be so palpable in the first place. All she knew was what he had done to her, and for that he must pay. But that could not be all there was to it, right? 
So gently, her lips part in speech again. But, her head tilts. Was Khaba always bad? 

And as their walk to the place of Osiris was underway, Zaahira is overwhelmed with a feeling of wonder and curiosity. All of Akashingo felt golden-plated, so neat and pristine and intricate, everything with so much detail and love. Thank you, she murmurs, a vague expression that did not truly summarize all that she felt for Toula's compassion toward her. A true display of tenderness and understanding, of a desire to connect with one who serves her — and in truth, it felt not that Zaahira served her. She was beside her, now, as a friend and confidant; two women who knew grief, and who were on journeys to peace, who longed to hold God's hand. The Queen saw Zaahira's pain, her rage, her strength, and guided it in the right direction. And in turn, as Zaahira looks into rounded azure, she vows to repay her however possible. 
The fellahin hold gifts clutched between jaws, and sweat clams her paws. What do I say to Osiris? She asks, hushed and dutiful. He talk to Selena?
