IS STARING

He chuckled as he felt and saw his niece clinging to him. He turned back and laid his torso next to her

"You look like a baby bear clinging to his mama"

Her husband, the King, was disappointed. She could see it clearly on his face each time that time of the month would start, when she’d bleed, and it meant she didn’t get pregnant, again. And of course, it was her fault, it was always woman’s fault, and she was no ordinary woman, but a Queen who had to give him a male heir. He was getting angrier, but Janet was convinced it wasn’t her fault; her husband liked to drink, and whore around, it was known he had many mistresses and often would spend his time outside of the castle, or in his private chambers. Janet had her own, since they shared their bedroom only when they were going to lay together.

((Because I can and Anubis won’t shut the fuck up)) @joseph-dredd

The Pharaoh hasn’t seen his Roman for quite some time. Word of war on the horizon had worried the Royal. Having been busier than before with issues within Egypt, Anubis hadn’t a chance to get away.

Time slipped by, so much time. He wonders if Joseph is dead. It leaves a heavy weight settled in his gut. It’s harder to walk without being so tense as he is. The Egyptian heaved a tired breath. A hand running through silver beginning to streak in his hair. Stress & the anxiety of never seeing his lover again took its toll.

On edge, frustrated. He’d written a letter sent on an eagle to carry to Dredd. Without answers or information Anubis is lost. He hates that. Left in the dark with no knowledge of his lover. For all he knows Dredd is long dead, perhaps the forbidden relations betwixt them was found out. Anubis can’t drop everything to look for him.

As of current he’s slipped away to the lower cities around the palace. Sneaking out is child’s play. Leaving his extravagant clothing for comfortable wear. Walking down streets to explore markets he once loved as a boy. They are lackluster. Vendors not having the same appeal as when Dredd was around. He’d made the world brighter , gave it a fresh look that had Anubis missing the days when he’d take the soldier around the area to show him his own world.

Anubis had snuck out for fresh air, but truth be told he still looked for Joseph amongst the peoples. Smolders of hope flickering weakly as a tiny flame, it shrinks as time increasingly passes without Joseph.

Maybe the Pharaoh could journey to Rome. But he’d need to have good reason & know where Dredd actually lives. That isn’t easy. Puffing a sigh, Anubis returns to his palace & retires to his room carrying a bowl of fruit.

Hannah has been told she can't talk to Olgan. She doesn't like she attacked her Papa. Hannah thinks there is a good friend hiding somewhere in Olgan, but her Papa shouldn't suffer while Olgan tries to bring it out.
