[color=FF47D8]“It is okay, little one. You may look if you ask properly.”[/color] Udjebten spoke to the other tutelary. [color=FF47D8]“Just remember, you see with your eyes and not your nose.”[/color] Khaemtir watched the little snake cower under Radaam’s reprimand. How nice would it be if his own tutelary would listen to him like that? It wasn’t that she would ignore something he asked of her but any request came with commentary that Khaemtir would gladly do without. It was like having two mothers and he spent half his time ducking out of the way of the first; why did he get one that he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to?

[color=E7D500]“Overwhelming? I don’t think so. This is a reasonably sized event. I was expecting it to be a little bigger honestly but I guess the guest list does limit it somewhat.”[/color] Khaemtir considered the crowd around them. It was like being at the market, with all the bustling and noise as people started filling the tables and emptying the food off them just as quickly. Standing in the heat did work up a bit of an appetite and a vicious thirst. Sure, he;d been a little nervous before his Cult had been called but he’d grown up at these events; there was nothing new about it. If anything, all the people calmed him down. [color=E7D500]“Amenemhatanhk is fine. Honestly, I think the building will collapse before he does. Though once I get permission I should probably send a notice to him. He’ll get fussy if I don’t.”[/color] Khaemtir thought about it, shrugged, and moved on from it.

[color=E7D500]“Of course we aren’t leaving before we greet Master Dagon. I’m not interested in disrespecting the man gracious enough to bring us into the Cult. I just wanted to greet you two first.”[/color] Khaemtir replied seriously, though the pout crept into his voice nonetheless. He wouldn’t dream of shrugging off their master. He was their key to all of the knowledge locked away inside those pyramids. He wasn’t about to do anything that would jeopardize his place here. He wasn’t about to become a disgrace to the family. [color=E7D500]“And we still have to make the rounds. With the families I’ve spotted so far, I’m guessing at least an hour and a half to two hours before we can make our escape. So many social responsibilities. The curse of the aristocracy.”[/color] He laughed with a shrug.

Khaemtir ignored Ishara's tutelary comment completely and the residual tinge of frustration at it. The Presedjet instructors had praised her work as exemplary and amazing but a tutelary wouldn’t even respond to her call. Other people had worked just as hard and actually managed to conjure one and they weren’t praised the same way. But that was in the past and they were here now. Both of them had been accepted into the most prestigious Cult of the five and now they stood side by side as Sorcerer-Novitiates. So he ignored that, ignored Udjebten’s concerned look, and turned to stare up at their new master.

Khaemtir would admit that Master Dagon inspired some fear in him. He seriously doubted his usual shenanigans would slide; between the scowl and his intense stare, Khaemtir instinctively understood this was a man he shouldn’t cross unless it was on the threat of death. Honestly, he was surprised someone with such intensity wanted him. He was a passionate student but he wouldn’t say that necessarily amounted to a good student. Sorcerers were serious, somber people utterly dedicated to their craft right? Khaemtir was a little flashy for the man with an intimidating look and a scowl longer than his robes. But whatever the case may be, Khaemtir knew he’d have to be careful around this man for a little while. 

[color=E7D500]“Master Dagon, thank you for the opportunity to learn under you.”[/color] Khaemtir spoke solemnly as he bowed. Next to him, Udjebten did the same, her snout brushing the ground. [color=E7D500]“I will not disappoint you nor squander your good faith.”[/color]
