Lion Head Mesa well, i know what you want from me

while abydos did not expect much in the way of high expectations, he does not expect the perceived hostility. there is a small swell of indignation in his chest as his father is called a pretender. akhenaten and his father did not oft see eye to eye, and there is a small flame of resentment at being named the scorned crowned prince because of his tainted blood ... they are still kin. he is still the god that walked the earth's son.

pharaoh seti of the oasis is no pretender, my lord, speaks abydos lowering his head and his eyes — eyes of a god — to the dirt of the man's feet; working to keep his voice level, calling upon those long lessons of diplomacy hoping they were all for naught in end. they share the same powerful name it would seem but this is no trick.

just the plea of a scorned prince who'd rather make himself a gift to a pharaoh then be constantly reminded by his father and divine sisters that he is tainted.
