[CrimsonMoon]

Chi suddenly breaks out in a loud fit of coughing, the other slaves staring at her with shock mixed with admiration

" Tau... Your slave seems to be ill, how do you take care of the young woman...? Ah... I see not very well," the larger man speaks as his gaze travels over her arms

" No sir," Chi says firmly, causing most of the Master Builders to glance at her quickly," Master takes care of me, i just disagree with him."

"... What did you say?" The strange voice growls

[Light]

Tau scowls, his expression darkening, "You seem to forget, girl, that I can end your little dream right now."

[CrimsonMoon]

Chi finally raises her gaze to his, her odd eyes locking with his calmly," I know, Master, i just don't care,"

The slaves in the room all seemed to have forgotten how to breath, staring at the confrontation between master and slave until suddenly... Someone started clapping slowly," In all my days...." The strange voice chuckles," I would have never expected to see something quite like this!"

[Light]

Tau looks away, and down in the water angrily. "I'll remember that..." He murmurs under his breath as he ignores the others.

[CrimsonMoon]

Soft chuckling fills the room and all the slaves visably relax," How adorable, are you sure you didnt brong the Rebel with you, Tau?"

[Light]

Tau glances up immeidately, "Tch," he grunts--but doesn't deny.

[CrimsonMoon]

Chi smiles quietly to herself, and closes her eyes again

" So... Is that all or do we have any new exciting news dash arguements?"

[Light]

Tau stays silent for a moment before standing from the water, "Must be; unless any of them have reports on the 'Chione' that appeared in the river a few days ago,"

[CrimsonMoon]

" oh yes... That," The skinny man sighs," Obviously a fake,"

" how could YOU possibly know? And don't say that, you'll bring the wrath of the Nile upon us."

[Light]

"We'll see then," Tau removes himself from the water, "Her eyes... they betrayed her. They are said to look more like a raging fire than soothing water."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Perhaps... Thats the point, the clashing elements," The large man muses

Chi approach him quietly and held his robe out to him

[Light]

Tau takes the robe from her and quickly puts it one, "Maybe so; but we won't know until we meet her ourself I suppose."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Or when the Priestess meets her," the large man smirks

Chione glances at Tau and murmurs," She's real..."

[Light]

"Oh yes," Tau inwardly rolls his eyes, "Bast is going to be racing to get to her before the Pharaoh. Not that I blame her- having Chione under the roof of the temple instead of the palace would give her more power." He gives Chi a look--a look that said he honestly without a doubt didnt believe in any of it.

[CrimsonMoon]

She met his gaze and her blue green eyes seemed to spark with mischief before she shrugs," Power struggles are so much fun, arent they?" She murmurs

[Light]

He strides out of the room quickly, "They are entertaining to watch; but to be involved in one is an entirely different matter."

[CrimsonMoon]

" You'll be dragged into it again," She murmurs and follows obediantly, so close she nearly smacks into his back

[Light]

"Not if I can help it," he grumbles, keeping his pace constant, "Too much work."

[CrimsonMoon]

She tilts her head and murmurs," Don't you beleive in your Gods?"

[Light]

Tau snorts, "I believe in what I can see," he steps down the steps of the temple, skipping a few at a time, "and if she can perform a 'miracle' then I might consider her a 'higher being',"
