[CrimsonMoon]

Chi hums softly,"... She shouldnt be a messenger for the Gods..." She rests her head against the table

The Pharoah smirks slightly," Just tell me if you dont feel well, alright?"

[Light]

"It isn't about morals," he mutters, "Bast is one of his 'friends' because she's... smart."

"Don worry--I will," she mutters darkly.

[CrimsonMoon]

Chi blinks and nods slightly,"... But how come you don't beleive in the Gods?"

When they reach the slums, he slows the horses to a trot as they move through the slums in silence

[Light]

"She's why I don't," Tau hisses, looking up at her. "Because someone like her is a priestess."

Ace leans to the side, her eyes looking around. "..."

[CrimsonMoon]

Chi blinks and looks at him, suddenly murmuring," What if the Gods showed you they were real?" Her blue green eyes flicker toward him

The Pharoah doesnt say a word, just closes his eyes as he steers

[Light]

"Then... I dunno," he looks back down at his stones.

Ace continues to observe silently... She grew up seeing this everyday since they brought her here... But to see it from beside the pharaoh made her feel... Sad...

[CrimsonMoon]

Chi unnconciously reaches up and squeezes his hand before fleeing back to the corner

The Pharoah didnt look as pleased as he probably should have, his haze blank with a hint of shame..

[Light]

Tau sneezes a bit, and his shoulders sag when he thinks she isn't looking anymore.

Ace closes her eyes looking away finally, "Ah..."

[CrimsonMoon]

Chi tilts her head,"...." He was sad...?

The pharoah steers them toward the city in progress," This is my kingdom," he murmurs, unclear whether he was proud of ashamed of it...

[Light]

Tau finally pushes the tablet away and blows the candle out with a small puff. His white hair reflects the little light let in from the small window, and he curls up like a small bug and calls his breathing.

"... It's sad..." She comments, opening her eyes to look at him, "Very, very saddening."

[CrimsonMoon]

Chi blinks and crawls through the darkness toward him, suddenly wrapping her arms around his waist," No more hurting people... It makes you hurt too..."

The pharoah laughs softly, his gaze sad," And so the cracks begin to show," he muses softly

[Light]

"Bast will have to be dead before I can stop." He mumbles, the reply muffled by his knees.

"These cracks are diseased... Angry and violent--they won't stay little very long," she whispers, her eyes catching a few of the other slaves ever so often.

[CrimsonMoon]

Chi presses her face against his side, her breath warming the cloth,".... She'll die..."

The Pharoah just laughs softly," I know, but how can i stop something thats been happening for hundreds of years? Unless a rebellion blows up than... It will go on,"

[Light]

"We'll see," he stiffly replies, his shoulders straightening a bit at the contact.

"That doesn't look too far off," she comments; laughing like he child she is on the inside, she was part of the rebellion. Part of it /and right beside him/!

[CrimsonMoon]

Chi stays still for a moment nefore pulling away again

" No. It doesnt, but you seem increasingly cheerful at that concept...."

[Light]

"I believe that you reap what you sow," she chides, looking over at Ra-Sefu, "and seeing someone get recompense for what they have done brings a smile to my face--I'm not sorry if that offends you."

[CrimsonMoon]

He suddeny laughs and his gaze flashes to her," I can't apologize for my ancestors, Chione, you don't give me offense" his eyes seem to sear straight through her skin and flesh and burn into her very soul..

[Light]

The reddish brown eyes glow, and she returns his gaze with an equally piercing one, "I know."

[CrimsonMoon]

He smirks and steers the horses into the half-made city, the chariot rolling past solitary blocks of sand stone and half made monuements

[Light]

"And these are...?" She questions, as if she didnt already know it from working on them everyday.
