She's quiet for a few moments.

 

"I'm not sure I know - how to think about how I feel about that."

"Uh if I imagine you before all of this you would - feel weird about them being inconvenienced on your behalf but I think I would - promise that I would send them to the other palace and give them some presents for their trouble and then you'd feel fine about it and be glad."

"That sounds plausible."

"So should we...do that?"

"I don't know? It's - not easy to think about."

...nod. "You're welcome. I guess."

Very quiet sigh.

 

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yes."

"You said, earlier, that - when we came here it felt like the one thing I wanted was something you couldn't give me no matter how hard you tried. I was wondering what the one thing you thought I wanted was."

Permalink

"To leave Osirion and go live in the woods someplace and not worry about anybody except some orphans we would adopt through periodic bizarre coincidences."

Permalink

"It's not - one of the things I spent any time hoping for, though."

Permalink

"Oh."
