“She wasn’t the only moody one.” He said with a smirk and a shake of his head. “But we shouldn’t tease them, many might still be tied up within their vessels unseen as anything but strange urges. Who knows how many of the gods have been confined to mental institutions.” He gave her a soft chuckle and a smile as he nodded his head once. “Soon as I awake I nudged Samuel to try and find my book. He didn’t understand that much of the research I had him do, or reading on Ancient Egypt was in fact me looking for it. But the Apostolos’ had it. They also have a full Greek temple in their apartment. And given the number of us who seem to converge there, awakened or not.. I would hazard that they are involved, somehow.”
He pursed his lips at her as he shook his head. “Don’t push at them too hard, allow yourself time to adjust. My own powers are very weak, but I have access to a number of them. And with my book, I’m regaining my magic, so hopefully soon I will be able to know more, and affect more. You have to be patient. I know that was never your strong point, but you have to be patient. You will adapt, Ma’at, I have faith.”
A tilt of his head as he considered her for a moment. “I suspect you and your vessel are going to have words over that, Ma’at.” He said with a chuckle and a shake of his head. “I have found it easier to allow my vessel his choices. But then we agree on nearly everything. He is a little too much on the order of law and good for my tastes, but I allow it. Occasionally I nudge some randomness into him, such as taking away his inhibitions when he was stuck in an elevator with a beautiful married woman yesterday. He needed the chaos and.. wrongful acts as this culture refers to it to balance himself.” The amused smirk that touched his lips would indicated just what Samuel thought of that.
“You know me, Ma’at. I have not changed to fit this new world, but I do observe and I do learn. They are a confused people. On one hand they demand a man and a woman be the only relationship. Then on the other, they argue for equal rights for men/men or women/women. This is not to mention all the random sex and unfaithful acts they do on a daily basis.” He shook his head a little bit at that. “You have been at my side more than my wife, Ma’at, more than Hathor, more than Nehmauit. More than any other being who has existed. You know I would never deny having you back at my side.”
