attn @Nasima tho! Other tags for ref

as she again returned to the responsibilities of being Pharaoh, the duties of motherhood still remained—it was easy enough when they could not move so very far, but now! they were still her greatest joy, but Toula knew that to ask for help was no weakness. most might have their mothers to call upon, and though Toula had a village filled with incredible women she knew that each had their own duties to attend.
there needed to be someone to look after the children when she could not. and her heart sang when @Rashepses had heard her, and @Senmut, oh, Gods bless them both! 
now to meet the woman who was deemed worthy to look after her little Godlings! a small, but hardly modest, luncheon was prepared for them both—warm furs placed opposite of a long wooden plinth that held the things prepared. the invitation sent, Toula looked approvingly over the spread. wonderfully plated, @Charmion, she commended warmly, and she then watched him take his own place. while she awaited the governess, Toula discussed quietly with another that they check on the progression of @Safiya and @Machiavelli. that they had not yet arrived raised a flag within her, but then… this was the girls first adventure. perhaps beautiful new things captured her attention. that, Toula could forgive—and understand!
