In a way, I wish that I could have seen that Egypt. [ Of course, the Egypt that he's seeing here seems so very vibrant and alive that it's not too hard for him to imagine what the Egypt that Bayek speaks of looked like. ] But that was the point of it all, wasn't it? To save Egypt for those who still had years ahead of them, and also for those who would come after. [ When framed that way, of course he has no regrets. Not that he's really built for having them, but this is one thing among many that he certainly does not regret. ]
I hardly think that it's my place to do away with anything, let alone a position such as the one you speak of. [ And yes, he knows how that sounds. As Pharaoh, all he has to do is wave his hand and issue a decree, and everything will be as he says it should be. But he doesn't want to be that kind of ruler. ]
If retaining your position as Medjay is what you wish, then of course I see no problem with it. [ And if Bayek wishes for himself and Khemu to meet, he has no problems with that either. ]
A ruler might travel about their realm either in plain view or disguised. [ He's mostly thinking aloud right now, as his thoughts travel to the possibility of accompanying Bayek on his ventures at some point. Assuming the other man doesn't mind having a companion, of course. But perhaps that's irrelevant, as isn't that what they're doing right now? ]
A woman? [ He knows which woman he speaks of, of course. But he takes that second's time to try and gather his own thoughts on the matter. ] She was- She is someone I became very close to when I still was among the living.
[ "Close" doesn't even begin to describe it, but he's not quite finished yet either. Perhaps Bayek doesn't wish to hear him wax on at length about the relationship he had formed, so by pausing, he's giving him the opportunity to redirect the conversation. ]
