S.O.S Scenes

A Challenge to the Gods

(In Cairo)
"Adira, riddle me this. Why would the council send...well...you to our case? Shouldn't you be in Seri kissing babies or something?" Haji said. Adira rolled her eyes.

"I don't kiss babies." She mumbled, opening up a new scroll.

"Then what do you do princess?" Kontar asked.

"I'm not a princess." She hissed.

"Might as well be," Haji joked, "seriously, why are you here?"

"They council figured that since it's taken you years to deal with this, that they would send someone of skill to clean up the mess you've made." She growled.

"So when are they going to send that person?" Ammon asked. Haji and Kontar burst into laughter. Ammon enjoyed watching the muscle along her jaw jump as she clenched it tightly.

"Are all Egyptians like this, or did I just get lucky?" She hissed. Ammon laughed.

"All Egyptians are like this." Ammon mocked.

"Gods, if all Egyptians are like this, I would hate to fall in love with one of you pretentious bastards." She mumbled.

"Careful, Hathor might take that as a challenge." Ammon joked. She turned to him with fire in her eyes.

"I'd like to see her try." She said before storming out of the room.

I plan on making this actual scene longer but I wanted to get the idea down
