I have no need for this day. My Gods know I devote myself to you no matter the time and place. If I must give my attention to you in full in only a specific mortal occasion, then I must openly curse this damning earth and burn it with its tomfoolery. I shall love you everyday, Nefertari. The sun admires my adoration and is struck with jealousy, for my heart can bravely defeat its brightness. It has done nothing but worship the land you walk on and tenderly kiss the skies that you look up to.
Words worthy to have been uttered by the Scribe of Ma’at himself, so strong were his words of devotion that she was once again certain of a fact she’d known all her life: She had been blessed, both by the gods and by this man who embodied them. As he speaks so fervently, Nefertari listens, and every cell in her body finds itself at full attention. Hands resting upon her lap, wrist adorned with gold, they clinked melodically with even the slightest of movements.
As she watches him carefully and intently, a curve plays upon the Beloved of Mut’s lips, to form a soft smile filled with nothing but affection towards he who has loved her for so very long.
“Surely Thoth himself would be moved by your words, Ramesses.”
Quietly and carefully she lifts a hand up, cupping his cheek and looking at him with the same reverence one held when looking up at the sun. A soft pink dusts her cheeks as she exhales to release a breath she hadn’t quite realized she had been holding, Ramesses always made it so easy to forget how to breathe after all.
“You are correct, mrwty, for we need not a holiday nor the word of the land to love one another. From here and even should we depart for Aaru to join those who have come before us, so that we too might know eternity--I will always love you.”
Nefertari’s smile seemed to grow, and with it her affection as her thumb tenderly brushes along his sun-kissed skin, a chuckle leaving her lips whilst her bracelets clinked with the subtle motion.
“....Again and again, you remind me of this blessed life that I lead. It could never be anything but, for you are in it.”
