hmm indeed

[ Unfortunately, whether she'd wish it or not, he's already begun to worry about the current state of affairs and about what he needs to do to set things right. It's a strange state to be in, because he can barely move or even hope to sit up right now, but he can't help but push his needs down and focus on the needs that a ruler must zero in on.

As for Lunafreya and the role she plays and fills in his life, well- if he's being honest, he can't imagine not having her present through his day to day affairs. Others might disapprove and even look questioningly at the two of them, but he considers her one of his closest allies and someone who he has come to trust very much.

At the same time, however, if she ever wished to leave and return to her own home, he wouldn't prevent her from doing so.

And at the present moment, that haze is enough to keep him from identifying much of anything, let alone any differences in her appearance or how she carries herself. What he does know is that she's someone he's been in the presence of before. Perhaps it's a scent that she wears, but his mind is telling him that he knows her, even if his vision isn't quite clear enough to confirm that.

He dimly registers her speaking of a war, and his priests attending to the kingdom, and the combination of those words registers in his mind as only one thing: danger. Well, danger and a threat to the stability of the kingdom.

Perhaps it doesn't make sense, and what he attempts to do next must seem like sheer nonsense, but his fingers tighten just a fraction against hers and with his other hand, he tries desperately to push himself up into a sitting position, doing his best to ignore the way his barely healed injuries protest. If he can manage that much, then perhaps he can manage standing.

Regardless of how he feels, now is hardly the time for the ruler of Egypt to be lying down, not when there is so much that needs to be done. The priests are capable, of course, but they aren't Egypt's Pharaoh. It hardly matters that he feels far too weak to even move; strength is required here, and he must be able to summon the willpower to get back on his feet again.

Of course, he doesn't make it very far before the premature attempt to move aggravates his injuries. Perhaps he should have anticipated that, but his momentary determination to move from this bed spoke louder than the voice of reason. ]
