Ancient Egypt: On the Nile

(((wow, i feel left out, 😂 *sigh* )))

Naqada was obviously bored on this ship. There was no where to practice his martial arts and general melee combat techniques.
"So about how much longer until we arive back home?"

He couldn't wait to see his sisters and brothers once again.

Rameses looked around, trying to find whoever it was who was watching him... Finally, his eyes fell on a man in a linen kilt, not unlike the one he wore, but dirtier. His first impression was that he was a slave, but something about the way he carried himself told Rameses otherwise.

"Well i guess i'll see you later." Ramatez said as he whistled while he walked down the streets.

Rameses looked at Ramatez oddly as he left. They had never met before, and even if they had, it wasn't usual for a prince to befriend someone like Rameses.

Simone had watched the prince walk up to a reasonably tall and dark man from her stall where she was selling a few goat hides and fur. She also had some grain that didn't fit in their grannary (sp?). She wondered why a prince would be walking around the market place, she shrugged it off and attended a man who was intrested in some of her wares.

Zafira turned to remeses. "It's a punishment. I have brought great cursing upon the gods" she explained. "It doesn't hurt so bad. I've gotten used to it, sie. Thank you." she smiled but it was small.

As the boat pulled into the dock, Naqada was eager to meet his people. He was new to being a king and didn't quite realize yet how to treat everyone. He was motioned along by his advisors, keeping him moving towards the palace to be briefed on the events that took place while he was gone. He never got the oppertunity to even say "Hi" to any of the locals between the talk of "rations of grain for the troops" and "your father's pyramid is almost complete". He was about to embark on the lonliest days of his life and he didn't realize it yet.

"You're a slave?" Rameses was surprised.

Zafira hung her head. "Yes, I am. Why do you sound so surprised?" she asks. She let her eyes meet his.

"You don't seem like a slave... I don't know why, something about the way you carry yourself."

Simone had finished with her latest customer and watched the lady and the man talking again

"Um, thank you." Zafira said. "Look, I'm really sorry, but if I don't hurry my master will kill me." she said. She really didn't want to go back.

"You look hungry... Why don't you come back to my farm and have some food? I'll go back with you to make sure he doesn't hurt you."

Zafira's eyes widened. "I don't know. I guess it'll be alright if you came." she said. She began the walk back to her masters home. She walked in the door. She sighed.

sumi smirked as his personal slave entered. "Good to see you're back." he said then he notices a man walking in behind her. "May I help you?" he asked crossing his arms across his chest.

~shizzle. Can someone please (pretty please, with sugar on top) give me a recap? I know, I know, I'm a lazy gerfiddle...~

(Well, Rameses the shepherd went to Zafira and Rudin's hous. And um, the others are well, i can't remember. 😮 )

~Thanks😄~

Kamilah started when the door swung open and Larkah strode out. The ferry dock and she hopped ashore. "We're out of papyrus!" she called back. Kamilah followed her quickly.

Dumi glared at Zafira. "Go put the items up, then you may come back."

Zafira walked into the other room. She knew this wasn't good. She hoped this man whose name she didn't even know, mush less he didn't know hers. She quickly put up the items and came back.
