Nod. "Wish I could help more."

"No, no, not at all, but you should let us know if we can help you. We're not - none of the pharaoh's wives lost kids, and we would be happy to help if we can."

Nodnod. "Okay. Thank you."

And she returns her attention to getting the girl next to her to eat.

Permalink

Probably a noble cause.

She heads out. Returns to her bedroom. Looks around for Zakiya.

Permalink

Out, but returns a little while later with some more mourning dresses and some towels and a case of makeup.

Permalink

Oh good.

 

"So. What do people - do, here?"

Permalink

"Uh, before they have kids I think people study whatever interests them or spend most of their time with their friends or watch their friends' kids - usually there's a lot of kids - there's a library, there are tutors.... once they have kids they mostly look after them. The last pharaoh had some of his wives look at policy for him. I don't know if he was actually using any of their suggestions but they seemed really happy."

Nod.

"I am probably not very good at that but I guess I would like - if there was any way to be useful. I guess.

"I'm kind of very unclear on how much I'm going to be seeing my husband. And when. And whether I'll know before it happens."

Permalink

"I don't really know that. I'm sorry. We can tell him you're getting ready, if it's helpful to have a bit of warning."

Permalink

"I don't know.

"I keep - missing him. And then remembering that he's still around, somewhere, just - you know."

Permalink

"I'm sorry."

Permalink

"Yeah.

"I wish I could talk to Fazil. I keep - I don't know what to be doing with myself, right now.

"Verita can talk to him, right?"

Permalink

"I should think so. She's your - sister?"

Permalink

"Niece. Her parents are dead, though."

Permalink

"And she's not the pharaoh's, right -"

Permalink

"No. My sister and, uh, some kind of good outsider."

Permalink

"Then I would think she can talk to him if she wants to."

Permalink

"That's good.

 

"I don't really wanna bug him but I guess he can always just tell her he doesn't have time to talk, if he doesn't."

Permalink

"I'd expect so. And helping your family settle in is pretty important."

Permalink

"I guess so.

"Anybody have any idea where she's run off to now?"

Permalink

"I don't know. I can ask after her, if you'd like."

Permalink

"Yeah. That'd be good. If you're not - busy, or anything."

Permalink

"Not at all." She ducks out to do that. 

Permalink

Well she'll just... sit here. Maybe run her fingers over the pictures of stars and murmur some prayers for her husband.
