none had refused her, none, not ever—and it was only her surprise that kept her quiet. she watched Rashepses, wondering what the meaning of this was. as he paced, she stepped into his path when she saw the vulnerability there, the fear.
she thought of tradition—not merely that of mothers, but of Pharaohs. perhaps all would stay behind, rather than dirty their paws—and Toula herself was not a warrior! it would be easy to give into this fear she shared with him.
Rashepses, she breathed, I want to be by your side. in this, in everything, she stepped toward him, eyes filled with that same vulnerability—that same love. I want to do this, together. and if it pleases you, we can summon @Mesen-Ka and invite the moon warriors to follow us. you are strong and you are fierce—I want to see you this way, in your element. you can drag this mongrel to me—you can bring him to his knees for me. for I want to finish this monster, the faces of her children, of Tiye, of the young of Muat-Riya flashed in her mind. she moves to hold his paw, we must! 
they two, uniters or kingdoms—bringers of Justice. together, my love, she murmured, standing taller, eyes filled with the want of many things—most of all, him. would he refuse her this? could he not see as she did, the power they two had together?
