"Indeed," Fukayna spoke right back.

The Sphinx towered over him staggeringly, and her annoyed expression was a testament to her thinning patience with him. With a single swipe of her mighty paw, she could likely kill him, but Fukayna knows she will not, and the Sphinx knows that, too.

"Why are you here, shepherd boy? I thought I told you to be banished from my sight!"

Fukayna's shit-eating grin falters, bringing a smirk to the face of the Sphinx. That was the only reason she called him by that name- knowing the 'peasantry' of it, and it's accordance with his 'long gone' past, it was obvious it would piss him off. And there might be nothing the Sphinx loves more at this current time than pissing Fukayna off.

Not only that, but Fukayna did not being lied to- making it all the more better for her to do so. She never told him any such thing.

"We had a deal."

"And I told you, that deal has been rectified. Begone!"

This, too, was a lie. It's become a game with herself to see how long she can string him along before he just resorts to rather leaving or punching her paw and finding out what happens.

He stares at her blankly, before digging his foot a bit into the sand by twisting his sandal. It was something the all-seeing Sphinx had noticed to be a habit he did when he was angry. Her smirk only grew.

"Come on now... I've already fulfilled my half. You know that's rare of me."

"Do I? For I seem to recall a time where you fulfilled every prom-"

Fukayna makes a growling noise that makes her laugh. From her point of view, his 'menacing' stature was nothing but equivalent to a play-fighting kit.

"I will not resort to begging, Sphinx."

"Oh, now you've given me ideas. That's something I'd like to see. Knees, Fukayna!"

She claps her paws together as if giving an order, and he puts his head in his hands momentarily.

"Fine! Fine. Please. I said please! Now DO your half!"

"Alright, whatever."

The Sphinx stands from her position, does the biggest kitten stretch you might ever see, and, when she's just low enough to touch noses with Fukayna, she grabs him in her jaws and places him on her head.

She begins to trot over and through the villages on the side of the Nile away from the Pharaoh. She lashes her tail, reveling in the awe that the villagers and peasants give her seeing her golden eyes and perfect nemes, all the while Fukayna calls from the top of her mane, riding on a throne of fur right between her ears.

"THE REVOLUTION HAS COME! EMBRACE THE TRUTH- THE PHARAOH MUST BE BROUGHT DOWN! THE GODS ARE ON OUR SIDE!"
