"Did everyone already bother you with all the obvious questions, I don't want to make you repeat yourself -"

"Uh, people wanted to know whether the pharaoh was likely to let them leave. Or whether he was likely to be upset about Ismat leaving. I don't know."

Permalink

"How'd you meet him? He was being an adventurer, right? What kind?"

Permalink

"Ranger. He, uh, ambiguously kidnapped me and my niece. Initially. This was a couple years ago."

Permalink

"- gosh. Right out of Cheliax?"

Permalink

"Yeah."

Permalink

"That's so romantic!"

Permalink

" - uh, at the time it was mostly really concerning? But - he had legitimate reasons and turned out to be a decent person. And then we ended up stuck on a mostly unreachable different plane for a couple years, and - he, uh, didn't really think the royalty thing was going to come up again. So."

"What's he like?" Laila says.

Permalink

"Uh, well, I don't - really know, because Abadar used a magic item on him that reversed his alignment? 

"I can tell you what he was like. If you want."

Permalink

"I would like that."

Permalink

"...uh. What was he before?"

Permalink

"He was chaotic good. Good with kids, good with animals. Compassionate. He says he's not good with words, and I guess sometimes he can't get them to go the way he wants, but sometimes he'd say just what you needed to hear. Kind of impatient with people who he didn't think were trying hard enough. Very serious about protecting and helping people who were. Very serious about living up to what he saw as his obligations as a husband. A little reckless, but all right as long as he had someone else around to balance him out, you know? And - thoughtful, I guess. Very considerate. Very - I think before I met him I kind of figured that nobody really cared about people unselfishly? And after I knew him for a while I - couldn't really believe that, anymore.

"And he hated the palace."

"So if he was chaotic good before, he's lawful evil now?"

Permalink

"Yeah. I think so."

Permalink

 

"I guess a lot of the ancient pharaohs were."

Permalink

"I guess so."

Permalink

"Are you doing okay?"

Permalink

"I'm - pretty sure nobody else is, so. Coping. So far."

Permalink

"We're very grateful that he came back. It'd be - good to know if we should expect him to need anything from us."

Permalink

"Yeah. I - can't really say."

Permalink

Nod. "You're his only wife, right?"

Permalink

"Yeah. He promised not to take any others, before, but - I dunno how much anything from before holds, at this point."

Permalink

"I'm sorry."
