Lion Head Mesa A Felicidade

she turned the spoken letter in her mind over and over, contemplative. I had considered it, if only to keep the Priest-Prince near to his wife, and near to her Hebsut! there are matters he must attend to in Muat-Riya while our Hebsut recovers—but I intend to summon him, temporarily, given the importance of their naming, and Akhtar himself having only just recovered, Toula wanted to be sure all went smoothly! she summoned the fellahin who recited the letter of their Erpa-Ha so they could both hear it again.

her little daughter dreamt, the noises of joy filling the room and her heart! Toula leaned into her husband, breathing him and their cubs in—this very moment one she herself had lived in before, in her own dreams. there was only brief surprise, to feel as though she had been exactly here before, but it was gone quickly, and warmth lingered in its place. all was as it should be, better even than the sweet haze found within the place of dreaming.
