"How d'you know?"

"Uh, it seems like she spent most of her time in Cheliax caring for babies and raising her orphaned niece and nephew."

Permalink

"Caring for babies who were gonna go to hell, though."

Permalink

"I guess I don't know for sure but I don't think it counts as evil to care for someone who is likely to be evil when they grow up, it's usually more local than that."

Permalink

"I guess I wouldn't know.

"What d'you figure I should be doing?"

Permalink

"Studying magic. There's great tutors here."

Permalink

"I guess so. 

"get to go when I'm grown up, right?"

Permalink

"I would expect so."

Permalink

"Okay.

"What're you gonna do now?"

Permalink

"Check in on people who are trying to find a replacement pharaoh and see if they need any help."

Permalink

"M'kay. Thanks for talking.

"Korva's probably gonna write you a letter but she didn't wanna wait cause - y'know."

Permalink

"Yeah. I'm glad you can send messages for her."

Permalink

"Yeah. I'll - see you around, I guess?"

Permalink

"I'll look forward to it."

Permalink

She nods and runs off back to Korva's room.

Permalink

She's lying on her bed staring at the ceiling. She perks up a little when Verita shows up. 

"Find him?"

Permalink

"Yeah. He says - he thinks Hagan is mostly pissed about the same things that would have pissed him off before, he's just a lot less patient about it now. And he thinks that you should obey everything that Hagan says because - he thinks Hagan would be pissed off about it if you didn't, and that that's reasonable because he's the pharaoh now and of course a pharaoh you didn't know would expect you to obey him. And he thinks that Hagan wouldn't hurt you for fun or for punishment but he's only been watching him for like a day.

"He says Hagan's gonna work on finding another pharaoh. He doesn't think they're gonna find another pharaoh. And, uh, he says you should be figuring out what things will make you fulfilled and content, and that you should be working on an heir. I guess. 'Cause of there not being another pharaoh candidate."

"Oh."

Permalink

"Uh. You need anything else?"

Permalink

 - headshake. "M'good. Thanks Verita."

Permalink

"You sure?"

Permalink

"I'm - not fine but that's all really good to know. And I'll be okay for the rest of the day, y'know? You can - if you wanted to practice magic or something."

Permalink

"Okay. I'll go do that. Take care of yourself?"

Permalink

"Mhmm."

She waits for her to leave and then flops back on her bed again.

Permalink

And eventually she is fetched for dinner.
