she had been scolded by the man in charge of her tasks.
so her whole day had been composed of redoing tasks again, then tidying after the tasks of the fellahin. tidying after the mazoi even.
she could not wait to return to her corner of the palace with tavina. her bones ached in ways she had not known them to be able to. her hips felt out of place, worn by the sudden intensity of her life.
but on her way back, she caught sight of a man, moving about in a searching manner.
she was not fellahin, but she too was here to serve.
all at once she moved to him. small, tiny. she always shrunk before others who were not her lover. she had not met this man before. which meant either more scolding would await her — or he was newer than even her! the first seemed more likely.
