Lion Head Mesa renaissance

attn @Seth or @Naberius ! @Tuna always welcome

despite what may be on the horizon, or perhaps in spite of it, Toula kept the palace lively for her people and her servants. none could say the place fell into any aspect of neglect since being raised to her position, and what was more was that she wished to do more. most likened greatness to conquests won, but Toula had her own ideas.
she called for many talents. starwatchers and astrologers; artists of every sort! the astrologers could foretell of auspicious events. perhaps she might even have her own seer! and art... oh, Toula loved it. she herself still practiced her scales daily, recalling words long ago of what might make a more desirable wife.
her tasks were different now. so different! more than just embracing the divine feminine was finding and striking the balance to be all that Akashingo needed.
perhaps a small banquet among her own, to hear them! even when they did not think they were being heard. Toula had learned much from @Tuna such as all that could be heard in the echoing halls; Toula asked that she listen for it all, and report to her any concerns.
Toula rose that next morning and greeted Ra with song, as she always had and surely would, before she moved—flanked by Mazoi and her attendants—to find tribute for Iset. the pious Queen always ensured that They two spoke, and lately Toula felt as though Iset was filling her spirit with her own.
