the changing of the guards came rote to khusobek. though he did not want the position of queens-man, he went through the motions for he knew no other way.
when roles had been given and the quiet corners of the palace checked, when he had seen that the young queen was retired among her protective attendants for the evening, the crocodilisk stalked down the corridor to his own chamber.
but he was not alone; the scent of rich things tensed him, and eset herself among them. khusobek stepped among the finery, glancing here and there, moving to pass a calloused paw over the painfully elegant fur and scent the meat.
but why had she brought them? "are these gifts?" he asked her, not considering that a servant would try to anticipate his wants.
