it was midafternoon when teya and @Sorana arrived. the palace was bustling, and she was sure to keep the girl tucked close. "this is akashingo. it is where lilitu live now. maybe we see her today." a servant approached, giving the younger wolf a surprised look, for when the sun descended it would hardly be a place for such.
teya urged sorana into the palace, down into the winding of rooms and apartments and wellspring, cheeks burning when she caught sight of sayf, confidently overseeing the carrying of meals upstairs.

teya settled at an eating-mat, leaning toward sorana. "that is pharaoh ramesses and the new queen treva," she whispered just as the ceremony began.
and afterward she smiled widely at the girl, wondering what her daughter made of it.
