Zakiya comes back with a heaping tray of things.

Permalink

She picks at them.

"Thank you."

Permalink

"Mmhmm. I'm so sorry. The last pharaoh didn't have any wives before he became pharaoh and I think that's probably better - this is such an awful way for it to work -"

Permalink

Nodnod.

 

"I just - want him back. And I don't know if that's ever gonna happen."

Permalink

"Uh huh. ...maybe you could convince Abadar to take the helmet off and let him get himself down from good to neutral somehow - kill a lot of people? And then he could put it back on and be lawful neutral? I don't know if that's how any of this works."

Permalink

"Pff.

"It's an interesting thought but I don't think Abadar would go for it."

Permalink

"Well, it seems like it can't be good for Abadar having an evil aspect."

Permalink

"One would think.

"I think he probably doesn't want Osirion to be without a pharaoh for any length of time. And I don't know if chaotic good Hagan would cooperate with any of this. - also the treasury's empty, no more wishes.

"And it seems like kind of a lot of effort to go to for a whiny baby."

Permalink

"I think you're very brave."

Permalink

"Thanks. I guess."

Permalink

"Lotsa girls are trying to get assignments elsewhere on account of him being evil."

Permalink

"Yeah. Can't blame them.

"I gotta - if he dies he'll go to hell. So - I gotta figure out how to get the helmet off. And he can't do it without an heir. So.

"I just - don't know what's gonna happen."

Permalink

"Yeah. I'm sorry. I don't know either."

Permalink

Nod.

"I guess I'll just... I dunno. Don't wanna read anything."

Permalink

"Do you want to cuddle?"

Permalink

" - yeah. If it wouldn't, like. Bother you."

Permalink

Headshake. 

Permalink

"Then - yeah."

Permalink

Then they can cuddle in her bed. Zakiya positions pillows expertly and hugs her and doesn't talk much.

Permalink

Snuggles.

Everything is terrible but at least it's slightly less terrible like this.

 

Eventually she'll probably fall asleep. She didn't get a lot of sleep last night. 

Permalink

When she wakes up Zakiya is also sleeping, though she startles awake right away. " - you okay?"

Permalink

"Mhmm. - or, well. Not really. But I'm better."

Permalink

"I hope something gets figured out."

Permalink

"Yeah."

Permalink

"Do you know what time it is -"
