I can show you the world - Aiesha - 3/28/2026
She did not ask anyone for permission to leave Satriya—too excited to consider that—and would have told her father if she had seen him, but Senmut had been gone at least a day.
When she finally departed there was a spring in her step. Aiesha hurried to where she was to meet Osiris—carrying a bundle of rations and herbs, in case they needed anything during their travels; she had pilfered a storeroom while nobody was looking, presuming it would go unnoticed.
Have you traveled much?The girl asked her new companion as they crossed the dunes, having spent much of the afternoon moving north.
Myself, I like to think I am well traveled, but... That was before my arrival here. Everything is different now.

True to his word, Osiris hurried to tell Azora of his mission and set off without anymore delay. He didn't think anyone else would miss him for a few days; he was oft inclined to wander out patrolling the whole of the borders, or in search of prey, so he didn't think permission was needed.
He didn't realize this could've been spun or seen as kidnapping or scandal as the guard made off with the noble lady.
His dusky form strode beside her with long, languid steps. Travels?
'Everything is different now,' she said, and Osiris turned to look at her earnestly.

Some,he rumbled, peering at her quizzically for just a moment,
my party and I traveled with the young amiirad to get here here, but the trek was not so terrible.Did he think he could've traveled before that? Yeah, would've been fuckin' nice, but those in his family didn't get such frivolities. He'd trained till his claws were dull and his pads bled and his head rang, he hadn't gotten to go anywhere but right into his duties.

Different, my lady?

He was a traveler—and a companion to Merneith? Aiesha considered asking about the queen so that she might further grow their friendship, but thought better of it as Osiris explained; no, she wasn't going to side-step an opportunity to learn directly from the woman if given the chance. Now was a better time to learn about her new friend.
He was curious, and Aiesha laughed at his formalities.
Aiesha, please!But how could she explain this...?
I was born in Muat-Riya, the summer palace of Queen Toula. My parents were—are, priests; but when the Divine One left Akashingo, she elevated my father to rule. That made me... Amiirad.As she spoke of this she found it easier to gloss over the more painful parts.
Then we arrived to Satriya and... I suppose since my father is not pharaoh, I am not really a nebet.Smiling to the guardian, Aiesha wonders what he makes of this.

'Aiesha', came the insistence. Osiris rumbled a quiet sound, neither agreeing or otherwise. He didn't want to disagree, but certainly, protocol and manners insisted more hotly! If this was his first mission since becoming mazoi again, he didn't want it known he was unprofessional.
The rusty canine went on to explain; she'd been born in the summer palace of the Queen Toula, and Osiris smiled at the mention of her. It was she who had let him pick his own path, who set him into enough favor to be the trusted Handmaid of princess Neferseba. Apparently, when she had gone, she'd left Aiesha's father to rule in her stead. What an honor!
He realized it as she said it: she was Amiirad, too. And she refused to hear him call her lady? Osiris quailed momentarily, sucking in a sharp, ashamed breath as he soaked in her words, but resigned himself to the knowledge he had: she was speaking of the past, which must have been the change she spoke of.
'Then we arrived to Satriya and... I suppose since my father is not pharaoh, I am not really a nebet.'
That was quite a larger shift than the one he was sulking over. What should've made him feel better only sharpened his curiosity, prompted sympathy.

Does one stop being Amiirad? They may call you something else, but if your Father was pharaoh even briefly, then surely Ra has blessed your family all the same. That cannot be taken back, in spirit.They might bow to a new set of royalty, but that didn't mean the gods hadn't blessed her father, blessed her.
