Lion Head Mesa the lotus step

Satsu had to be made to see her place, despite her title.

No matter what Pharaoh had promised of their equal standing, she had tarnished some part of their arrangement. She was queen, but she was also wife, and the two were competing for validity within her.

The man demanded a correction be made. It was Tamar, or it was Ramesses; Satsu had made promises to the both of them, and even as the man stood there indignant and demanding, she knew there was only one answer to all of it.

If there had been fire within Satsu in that moment, it faded to ice as silence cued between the pair. She did not look to Tamar, and turned her eyes down from her husband also.

Gears shifting in Satsu's mind come to a halt. She sighs.
