Lion Head Mesa bronze

the prince had been gone for a day and now the sky would soon darken toward another.

in the catacombs, tavina kept the sleeping @Nazli tucked into the curve of one arm and examined the boy @Zakariya.

she had come to allow @Jawahir freedom to move about the mesa. the jewel and the pharaoh had made contact but tavina was not overmuch concerned with the specifics. she frowned to herself, lifting his chin with a gentle paw and looking at him in the tiny amount of light.
