          Strange.

     He’d been feeling odd since this morning. His normal routine -- engaging in a warm shower, dutifully combing his hair free of any kinks and brewing himself a strong cup of coffee -- seemed so...foreign. The water made his skin prickle. His hair felt so stringy and lifeless. Even the coffee tasted sour. And it was his favoured brew !

     And so, it was after such a horribly bogged down morning that Mahaad resigned himself to his couch; and even there -- sitting completely motionless -- Mahaad felt he wasn’t...all there. 

               “ hn... “

     ...Yes, there is most certainly something wrong with him. But before he could even consider his next course of action --

                          P O O F

          “ aaaahhhhh -- “

     Evening.

His favourite time of day, truth be told. The early mornings were loud and exciting -- preparing the palace for the pharaoh’s awakening took the combined effort of the help as well as the seven priests. And while Mahaad greatly enjoyed greeting his lord and sovereign each morning, the hustle and bustle of the twilight hours oft left him feeling disoriented.

Afternoons were dedicated to his lessons with Mana; and most everyone -- even the lowly palace boys knew how frequently those lessons ended in... failure. And, even for a such a dedicated man, this routine left him tired; mentally and physically.

          But the evenings...

Evenings left the chaos of the early day behind. When evening came, Mahaad was free -- to an extent of course. When evening came, he could shed his stifling robes, free his hair from his headdress and busy himself with watching Ra carry away the sunlight. These were the times he cherished, and looked forward to the most.

But this evening would be a little different. In the midst of his inner musings, Mahaad found he was no longer alone. He had company.

                   “ good evening, my pharaoh “

//Yick... everything tastes nasty right now... And the computer is my lame distraction right now, though I might put Big Hero 6 on later. My baby’s in it.//

//But we don’t have any juice; I took the rest of it to Tima’s and the lemonade only made it worse... T.T And go for goats, they might not be as big as horses but that means they’re less likely to squish you.

I just want a distraction or something that doesn’t revolve me chasing around my niece because yelling with her makes my throat worse...//

greatpharaohatem said: [Aw, boo. You take medicine yet? Bundled in blankets? Lots of water? Should I make a sacrifice to the gods?]

//We’re all out of any medicine that won’t make me pass out in half an hour, and I still have to feed the animals at 10... I’m wearing layers, water is gross, and yes, sacrifice to the gods and film it, it will amuse me.//

//Y’ll know I love you, but I should stay home. Stupid children with stupid germs got me sick again and I don’t even wanna move... T.T//

"Mahaad!" Atem tugged on the man's tunic, blinking up at him. "I have a question."

「 † 」;; — "Hmn?"

A question…? Something akin to dread seeded itself in his chest for a moment — silent for a second or two before shifting, leaving the priest more than a little unsettled.

A question about what?

"Of course, my King. I shall provide you with my most suffice answer."
