Lion Head Mesa [m] forever in debt to your priceless advice

maybe @Akhtar? :eyes: takes place before the gwl invasion/soon after hira's arrival 

The landscape of Akashingo is different, one that requires getting used to for the warrior woman. The chambers of the underground will require mental mapping, and for now, she studies them; the intricacies of the murals, the soft lit beauty of the reddened earthen walls. She wonders if perhaps Selena would have liked it here.
She wonders many things. If the Dove has made plans with the tall man, if she will see her again. If Khaba has noticed her absence yet. Not that it matters much. Not that he would come looking. 
To him, she is but a pawn. A warm body, a quiet mouth. But slowly, she is realizing that she is more than that. The title of mazoi is one she will hold with pride, with diligence, with honor, with respect for the Queen who mercifully granted it to her. Toula's compassion is something that would not be taken lightly. 
But for now, she is quiet as she walks the hallway, a whirlwind of thoughts and feelings that go quiet as she admires her new home.
