Lion Head Mesa gallium

set for tomorrow morning <3

"your highnesses."

they were standing in the middle of what had previously been the queen's apartments. all was as it had been while satsu lived, and covered over by dust. the bed furnished with fine pelts had fallen into disrepair. there was a crackling of dead leaves underfoot, as the boughs of sweet-smelling flowers had not been replaced.

princesses @Makono and @Ashikaga stood before her. and behind tavina stood @Nazli and @Zakariya. she drew a breath as this would be a difficult meeting for many reasons.

"this was the home of your mother. i want to give you each a moment to take anything you want from this room, and the one beyond it. her throne-room."

the apartments were expansive and grand. a redtail feather sat upon one shelf. stacks of mink pelts were in another, cradle cloths from when the twins had been babies. smooth stones and carved pieces of wood, preserved flowers, most decorations endless in both spaces.

"when you have finished, come and bring them here. and then zakariya and nazli are going to start cleaning. we can stay here as long as you'd like, majesties."
