Why do that? [drowning half the continent sounds...useless?

Set tries to pay attention, he truly does. But he cannot make sense of much of what she says.]


Everything you say makes little sense.

['We might'? Set doesn't think he would be so foolish as to flood a whole continent. Nor any of the gods here. He thinks anyway. Though the Nile floods, it's always for a reason.] I don't see how you can't know you would do that. Your...Valar? They do not seem intelligent.

[Set, that's rude. But he is always frank, even as he's grown past the angry being he once was, he is still frank.]

Thoth will figure something out. He is good at things such as that. Apparently better you or I. [Not meant as an insult.]

[For once, he is curious how her king died. If anything, he's curious about the royalty of other places and how he should manage his own nation. Set wants to try to be better.

Though he is still very confused by the rest of it.]


What do you mean you are sheltered?

[Even though there are some of these words that Set does not understand, he gets the message. Perhaps in some ways, he had been sheltered as well. Set understood the evils of the world, had gone through his own darkness, but there had been things he had been blind to. As a royal god.

And maybe some things he had simply stayed ignorant of. Purposely. Without him truly knowing so.]


The reason you are here may be because of that. [it is the first time he does not sound short, annoyed.] Maybe there is meaning to it.

[Her words make him think. It would be hard to live in a world without meaning. Just chaos, just nonsense. He may have been the god of disorder but he didn't think it was something he understood.]

When the Nile floods, sometimes it does destroy. People lose their lives. But it leaves behind valuable fertile grounds and is necessary. I think that is how the world is meant to work. Bad and good must happen...

[Otherwise it is meaningless.

He shakes his head.]
I am not a scholar. No need to listen to me.
suetekh: (49)

[personal profile] suetekh 2025-03-11 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Set listens and he thinks that she obviously has wisdom in her as well. Maybe he should listen, try to make sense of what she is saying even when it confuses him. He does need to listen more, Thoth always says. And Set knows he does.]

I would know there is good because I am the bad. [It was the point of him being king right now. To keep balance until good, Horus, would ultimately destroy him.

He continues walking and they are closer to the Nile now, with all of the people working. They all bow their heads to Set and he barely acknowledges them. Set must always continue to be cold, it fits the tyrant he must be.]

Thoth would have gotten angry if I didn't. [That was true and maybe part of it. But not all of it. A thin excuse at best.

Her second question is easier even if he knows she will not like the question.]


These people are attacked every day. Hippos do not like their territory encroached upon. Crocodiles attack far less but it is not unheard of.

[The teasing quality to her words is completely missed by him.] Most people see me as being foreign myself for that. They do not take it as you do. [As usually, foreigners were seen as a negative part of any growing lands.]

No beast can speak or understand human language. [His tone seems like this should be obvious.]

[personal profile] suetekh 2025-03-17 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's a joke, he thinks, and he does think it's funny, even if he doesn't smile or laugh.] That is funny.

No. We can be...beasts ourselves. And we can turn into them but we do not speak their tongue. They are their own thing.

It depends on the god. If they have the power and what kinds they have. I don't have any magic so I can't.

But some could turn into any one they want.
suetekh: (52)

[personal profile] suetekh 2025-03-18 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Some of us can turn into mist or smoke. Fire sounds...possible. Probably. [What does he know?]

Thoth could tell you more. I'm one of the only gods without magic.

[personal profile] suetekh 2025-03-18 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I am not interesting. I have never been. But that does not matter. I have no need to be interesting when all I need to do is rule this kingdom.

[He considers his next words and settles on:] Thoth will find you interesting.
suetekh: (48)

[personal profile] suetekh 2025-03-21 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Then your interest in me is the same as Thoth's. [Not that he cares much.]

You are correct about him. But he is...[How does Set explain Thoth? Without giving it all away.] He will be kind to you. No matter what. [It's best just to leave it at that.

Finally they get to the river, with all its papyrus and people fishing from it. One of the people there ask if they want to boat and he looks at Mithiel.]
Would you?
