germ + pharaoh can probably pop back in soon!

satsu was glad. she felt warmth spreading throughout her body, a touch of light-headedness that she presumed was from the containment of the catacombs, or the steam from the hot baths. her cheeks were warmer still, and she was smiling.

i do not have much to share, really. she confessed.
after we met, i traveled along until we found this place for founding our home. there was a small stop to the caldera - which i imagine you passed too? i met a warrior woman there and she let me enjoy the sights for a bit, which was very kind. it is beautiful!

she thought to herself about what came after that.

then, one by one, we gathered people to akashingo. pharaoh's favorite, jawahir, followed us and met with us, and she brought maggie - the pale one - and, then came sabah; she is a fine warrior woman herself, who you might see when we go out and walk tomorrow. she works hard. satsu deeply appreciated having another wolf around.
there wasn't much else to say; akashingo had not become a bustling place, but lively enough. satsu did not think crowfeather would like to know of all the antics of pharaoh, or how often satsu had caught him enjoying himself in odd places or at all hours.

the only other thing was the obvious betrothal between herself and ramesses; yet she could not tame the words enough for her tongue, and would not speak of it before crowfeather. instead she let her information fill the space between them, and after a time, asked him: what of you and your journey?
