Lion Head Mesa chardonnay or bordeaux

this is a cameo! tag him back in when u get to the throne room <3 also lmk if the powerplay isnt cool!

ramesses and @Makono stood atop the mesa. he spoke calmly of trade routes: mereo for furs, paleo for poppy. 
but the man of the roman ruler did not go unnoticed. he worked the steppes and each day pharaoh's watchers reported to the divine one.
the land was long and flat. those who approached could be seen for a long while away. and despite the small, unassuming figure which moved to meet the soldier, ramesses weighed the meeting and decided at once it must be severed.
"crown prince," he said after a moment of watching the tiny forms upon the steppes greet one another. "take your guard and invite the stranger to my throne room." an invitation that was not. "and if they should flee, adjudge them a spy and capture them all the same. order the soldier to stand down."
there was a test here. makono was skilled enough to see it. ramesses wanted to see her loyalty in movement. his lapis eyes did not alight toward her, for pharaoh only expected her do as he commanded.
