Sneak peek 👀

My computer is still not back. It's pissing me off because the guys said it was going to be 1 week. That was exactly 1 week ago, and they haven't even looked at it yet. I know because I went into the shop today to ask about it 🤬 So I'm now borrowing my spouse's PC when I can, but that's really not an ideal solution (although I'm starting to love this keyboard... too bad it doesn't have bluetooth, but it has awesome flashy rainbow lights, which is infinitely cooler).

Anyway, I'm still managing to get through some of the writing. I finished the missing poly route scenes so far, then once I'm done with the friendship scenes, I hope I can have some of the story progress in before Friday night.

Here is a little snippet from the poly route:

Ahmose finally turns to you then with a strange expression on their face. In the darkness, you can't quite make it out. They're not scowling but something close to it.

"Ah… maybe you aren't aware, but you keep calling Zaia's name in your sleep."

Oh, fuck, no! You talk in your sleep?

*if captain

Your Auntie kept telling you the same but you always thought she was bluffing.

*if not captain

Who would've known…?

"Am I really?" you try to blink away your embarrassment as it heats up your face.

"Yes," Ahmose says in a flat voice.

While you wonder about what the fuck you are even supposed to say to that, Ahmose sighs and turns their back to the dam so that they can look at you properly. In the dark, you still can't make out most of their face, but judging by their crossed arms and hunched shoulders, they aren't exactly in a great mood.

"Look, I just…" they say, then they sigh, and fall silent. After a few seconds of pondering, they open their mouth again. "Qenna warned me about this, you know."

"About what?" you ask carefully.

"To be careful not to get my heart broken because you and Zaia seem to be getting along... very well."

"Qenna said that? When?" you stare at them, but they avoid your eyes.

"Before we went to Giza," Ahmose mutters. "Look, ${name}, I don't mind it, alright? I was just under the impression that… that maybe…" they trail off then with an uncertain frown.

You stare at their face for a while, and suddenly, you understand what's happening.

Ahmose is jealous.
