thanks for this! literally so fun! <3

why not? why not play the harlot in name if not in deed for khusobek? he glimpsed a great sense of her pride in that moment, her careful propriety, and her terms were accepted with a nod.

sleep, again, evaded him until the early hours. melody did not summon him. his flesh ached.
