Sneak peek ๐
🕑 Added 2025-02-07 00:28:57 +0000 UTCI forgot to post this yesterday ๐ญ That's what I get for not having my calendar at hand at all times...
Anyway, here is a little snippet from the update tomorrow. Narmer's personal scene this time ๐ The update tomorrow might be coming quite late at night btw. I still have a few scenes I wanted to finish, but I'm going to the dentist tomorrow too (which I also just remembered) so I don't know what shape I'll be in when I come out ๐ค We'll see!

He's obviously going on official business. Very royal. Very important.
Unlike you.
You'd probably just be in the way for him.
Well, you [i]hope[/i] you wouldn't be, but you aren't sure enough to say that out loud. Plus, he didn't exactly invite anyone, soโฆ
As you look up, your eyes accidentally meet Narmer's, who's been standing next to you and has been gazing at your face for who knows how long.
He looks away a moment later, and softly clears his throat.
"My errands are going to be boring, but if you have nothing else you'd rather do, then I wouldn't mind your company." Then, even softer, so that no one else but you can hear, he adds, "It may be a lot less boring with you there."
You can't stop the surprised smile that lifts up the corners of your lips.
"I'd like to go," you say immediately, a little too fast to not make it obvious that you've been waiting for exactly an invitation like this.
Narmer doesn't react to that fact, or the way you keep clearing your throat in embarrassment, but you catch Qenna and Tabiry trying to suppress some amused smiles. Ahmose is working very hard to maintain a carefully neutral face.
