[CrimsonMoon]

She sighs and rolls her eyes as the priest leads them through the temple to the large room hidden behind a heavy blanket," I suppose i have to help you, don't I?" She whispers nearly inaudibly

[Light]

He gives her a look, "What makes you think... Oh yeah..." He murmurs, "Just stay quiet, and keep your eyes on the ground."

[CrimsonMoon]

" oooh, don't worry about that," She growls beneath her breath, staying close behind him as they eter the steaming room. The other men were either already in the large pool or being attended to by their slaves

" Finally! By the God's Tau, we were afraid the Pharoah had taken you from us!" A large middle aged man growls from the tub

[Light]

"Ah," the slave master turns his gaze to the men, "Only for a day." He supplies, slipping off his robe quickly.

[CrimsonMoon]

" You seem to be getting alot of attention, Tau, what did you do? Challenge the Pharoah to a game of Go?" A skinny man muses," Or did you get into a debate with a Priestess?"

Chi takes his robes from him, never actually looking at him

[Light]

"I watched a game between him and Bast." He answers, slipping into the water as soon as she took his clothes. "One of those legendary ones you fall asleep during."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Hmph, usually when those two paly, moutains of gold are at stake and nobody gets it... What'd they bet this tiem?" The larger man asks

" The new city no doubt, yes?" The skinnier man snorts

[Light]

"A slave." He answers, picking at his nails, "you know--the one."

[CrimsonMoon]

" A slave?" The middle aged man growls," Hmph, what was so special about this one?"

The skinny man just leans foreward, an interested gleam in his eyes

Chi stiffens slightly but doesnt look up

[Light]

Tau's lips twitches just barely. Like sharks to blood. "This one was the one stirring trouble with the rebellion; don't tell me you haven't heard."

[CrimsonMoon]

All the men in the room look up, now he had their full attention. The slaves in the room seemed to stiffen in unison. Chi especially looked rigid but her gaze remained impassive

" Rebellion...?" The skinny man breathes

[Light]

"Yeah," he shrugs a bit, "Dont expect much from it now though."

[CrimsonMoon]

" I suspect he is dead than, yes?" The large man inquires hopefuly

Chi's hands grip te cloth tightly...

[Light]

"Hmmmmm," he slowly hums, fingers tapping against his leg, "About that, I'm afraid, I didn't stay long enough find out." He shrugs a bit, "It's possible."

[CrimsonMoon]

" You know hos boring life is to be Master Builders, you should have stayed to the conclusion!" The skinny man cries in exasperation

Chi relaxes just barely though her gaze flickers with confusion

[Light]

"I DO have a job to do," he mutters with a scowl, "and the Pharaos brother isn't exactly the best motivator to stay."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Ah, Oh yes, Jahi-Osiris... He's not a very emotional or cheerful person, is he?"The skinny man murmurs thoughtfully

" How about we stop gossiping like old women and get to work?" A strange voice growls

[Light]

"I thought that the point of this little gathering every morning was to discuss happenings," Tau innocently says, blinking his green eyes a few times.

[CrimsonMoon]

There was soft grumbles of agreement before the voice growls ," We're Master BUILDERS, we're supposed to discuss BUILDINGS."

The slaves im the room shared private smirks and chuckles, including Chi, who snorted quietly in contempt but amusement

[Light]

"Ohhh, but we are," Tau grins; the feature animialistic, "I mean, the laborers are part of the building--literally--and if we have a hiccup in their work output then that disrupts it all, now doesn't it?"
