He watched through narrowed eyes as she retreated. "It's not like you'll be needing them anyway. Now that you're a mazoi," he all but spat the word out. "Besides, aren't they more Tiye's speed anyway?" Speak of the devil, the fellahin's arrival is met by a swoop of his stomach - and Kheti immediately moves to stand between both sisters. The last time feathers had been involved, it had ended in bloodshed. 

Okay, perhaps that was a little dramatic, but the point still stood! In another life, he would have liked to play dress up with Tiye and paint pretty patterns on each others cheeks. Instead he was stuck diffusing another ticking time bomb. 

That being said, he found himself agreeing with much of Tiye's ramblings. "She's right, you know," Kheti fixed Safiya with a hard stare. "There's a reason people dislike him. How can you even be sure of his intentions?" How could she even call herself a mazoi while fraternising with the very people they should be protecting the palace against? Wrongly accused or not, Khusobek had not guarded his cell for nothing! That begged another question; "does father know of your... relationship?" Whatever it was, it was not friendship in his eyes.
