“Once you’re healed we’ll get you to the court of Amit,” Penu says. “But for now, I don’t think it’s safe for you to travel.”
“Is there anyway we could get word to them?” You ask.
“Othet is at the palace now,” Penu says. “My son,” he tells you. “I can send him word in a dream and he can alert the proper authorities.”
“In a dream?” You ask.
“Such is our way,” Penu smirks. “We’re what your kind would call mystics, but we really prefer to say we’re healers.”
Seif is oddly quiet and he keeps looking at you.
You stay under Penu’s care, but Seif visits you often. You spend most of your time reading from your books, but when Penu is around he teaches you about the Sabertooth tribe and Bastet, their oasis as well as their goddess. You’re fascinated by them and you enjoy Penu’s lessons immensely.
Despite his silence, you’ve grown fond of Seif as well. He sometimes sits in on Penu’s lessons and he’ll have dinner with you every night.
“You don’t have to sit with me,” you tell him. By this time, your skin is mostly healed. It’s peeling and you still feel bruised, but Penu’s medicines and balms have worked wonders.
Seif looks up from his bowl, his one eye shimmering in the dim light of the lamp. “Do you not like my company?”
“No, it’s just-” you bite your lip and bow your head. “You don’t have to keep watching over me. I mean...you must have people you’d prefer sitting with.”
“I feel responsible for you while you’re with us,” Seif replies. “Besides, your company is fine. I enjoy our conversations.”
