meryet half-grinned.
her gaze dipped down to her own paws, avoiding the leer of his.
life in nemkha had been miserable. one of ta-senet's poorer colonies on the outskirts of the desert, most of her memories were made up of sitting beneath ironwoods with a roaring, splintering headache while the rich man of the day had his way with her. she remembered how it felt after they would leave; the emptiness.
she never wanted to feel that way again.
and vahanet meant something more. something better. and so she was elated to have been chosen.
her grin spread farther.
i know he is a man who has rebuilt a fallen kingdom. there's room to get to know more.
