All right, I need to write these down before they're no longer fresh. Some are irrelevant as of the writing, but still... best to have accurate records.
Note to self: Direct Tal's next conversation with Fate to further narrow out reasons. Probably should have asked further about sigils but ... hey, earning the favor of Sekhmet? Priceless. Ok, ok. Mystery-Thread. Isis set up that room to keep Sekhmet loyal by keeping her drunk off the blood of sacrifices. Nothing too untoward there, but hey, it's because otherwise Sekhmet's loyalty would revert right back to Ra. So Isis keeps her drunk and gorged on blood and Sekhmet doesn't -- can't -- interfere with her plans.
Wasn't able to get too deep into Isis' plans but I was able to establish that they don't deal with Benjamin or his sigils -- which are, by the way, are being used to lure him back to Cairo to put him on the throne. Fun! Maybe see Hathor again. Sweet girl, terrible situation. Will try and reach out to her, give her a friend to talk to. Can't seduce that one -- would end in heartache as would have to make her fall in love to leave her fatebound role.
Reminder: Ask Kelly if she can help me locate some flawless emerald. Need to begin on physical part of Ann's/Anann's/Anna's wedding gift. Anna's putting a constellation in the sky for me -- I have to find -something- to even touch coming close to that.
Enech's burning for Sekhmet in a way that one shouldn't be lusting after blood-drenched warrior god.... oh who am I kidding? The frenzied, blood-splattered warrior goddess type is completely my type! Any time Anann bites hard enough to bruise, I'm just a puddle. I wonder if I could ask Anann if we can dabble some more and see if I'm related to a redkap - or if she's the basis for them coming into being. Hmmm. Or Ann. Can't ask Anna. She's too sensible for that sort of ... wait. Note: Pass it off as an experiment; she'll be on board.
Note again: Really, really need to talk to Benjamin. If he treats me like a servant one more time I will make sure that he'll regret it. Learn the lesson of the Irish Kings, he will: Never Piss Off The Bard. Reputation? Everything. Gods, don't these cultures know anything about keeping Face?
Nikita seems to be along my way of thinking, and as stubborn as Benjamin but he's more polite about his arrogance. Will make up to him by perhaps dinner and a business venture? He could probably appreciate the fine dining of Cairo where the others can't. Might invite Diao Chan when she needs a break from Wuyi.
Diao Chan. There's a sketch of a harried woman on the left side, but her right side is made up like a Chinese princess. I like her. She's cunning, witty, and she's still brimming with the elegance and culture that the Celestial Bureaucracy tried to shun out of her. She was assigned to Wuyi as a joke, to get both of them out of the C.B's hair much like they do anything to keep Monkey out of their affairs. Wuyi seems to like her; Diao Chan has Wuyi convinced that being a Courtesan is much like 'leveling up' in one of Wuyi's games. Maybe Diao Chan can instill some culture and bearing where I can't.
Reminder: Court Grievances with Anann before the week is out. Get the Band settled and then use the hearthstone to head back home to prepare. Gave the other stone to Wuyi already so transport is secured.
The rest of the jumbled papers are nonsense, or love poems, or sketches of three different poses of what appears to be each of the Morrigan sisters. Other sketches include fashionable dresses or ideas, names of models, names of locations. Dinner plans with investors.
