ram out!

ramesses felt the cloying nature of the birthing chambers, of all these women. it was not a place for a man, let alone pharaoh himself.
he leaned forward. he kissed her forehead. his heart leapt; leapt for a quick, wanting moment.
ramesses looked at his son, face suffused with pride. 
the glance he gave his daughters was softer this time, edged with a minute curiosity.
and then he was gone, turning with only a glance for qiao before he departed, marching with sihaya back to his own rooms.
satsu was now not only his lover and queen; she was mother to his heir, to his firstborn children. 
she deserved many things and he would honor her.
a sacrifice next, taken to the priest and offered for the gods' devouring.
