[Funny, Set thinks, how her and Thoth seem to have a lot in common. It seems Thoth is thinking similarly and when Set catches his eye, the gentle smile on the god of wisdom turns to a scowl at Set.
Exhausting, Set thinks.
Thoth speaks up, smiling to Mithiel. As if this isn't a sad story of brothers turning against one another. Like this is a bed time story.] It was Lord Osiris, the elder brother who was to be on the throne. Until Lord Set changed that.
[Sometimes Set thinks Thoth just wants to hurt someone because he cannot hurt himself. But Set does not feel like he used to. It still hurts but the pain has become duller. It is always on him after all. But he really just pities Thoth and maybe this Mithiel would be good for him.]
Enough of that. [Set orders and puts on the act he is used to now. It suits him well.] There is no need to talk of that foolish man. He is in the underworld now, a king of the dead. This is my kingdom and if you do not behave then you can meet him. You are welcome here and you can bother Thoth with all of your talk.
