Hideaway Strath brazier

since @Nyra had made him ironic slave to @Aerin, pharaoh had presumably been kept busy despite his ironic belief. but he had also flouted it, and this would be a punishment — if he was discovered.
however, it was the grandmaster who discovered him careless of step, and ramesses dipped his head in the obeisance that had maddeningly become familiar. "i was given as a slave to the priestess," he said softly, studying the grains of earth between his bathed front paws. "shall i see about her needs before we go off, noble one?"
he kept himself downturned and neutral, but in truth pharaoh wanted a guarantee for his worth. nyra was nowhere to be found. only himself and kynareth here, and ramesses curved into a respectful pose that made him surge with fury inside his own chest.
