Two Eyes Cenote Portrait of a Lady

Early days were for clearing the sanctum of dust and debris, and scrubbing down centuries-old rock lichen from the palace foundations until they shown perfect and gleaming. It was a smoothly run affair; the fellahin worked as a monolith prioritizing first Queen Toula’s personal bedchamber as well as that of the amiirad Ashikaga before attending to the Erpa-Ha, Neb and Nebets. Next was Tavina’s medical ward, a long chamber with natural outcroppings that could store herbs, finely pumiced and cleansed until the undulating walls immaculately glistened. Arduous and repetitious was the work, but each once-austere room began to take on a character of its own and was consciously chosen to complement their individual occupants.

The servants might complete the initial cleaning in two week’s time, but when all is said and done, Eset wishes to construct something. For this, her voice quietly seeks the insight of @Sayf, the fellahin most experienced among them.
