Lion Head Mesa forty-first

@Nazli had inhabited many rooms inside akashingo. senmut did not wish for her to return to any of them as she recovered, and so ordered her moved to a small apartment near the court of the queen.

toula's kindnesses would do nazli well, he felt, and with the golden light to glow the room throughout the day, senmut hoped its warmth too would gild her in renewing spirit. today he came to her threshold, announcing himself politely before his entry, and carrying with him a small wrapped skin of fresh raspberries.
