Halima stared at Amuns shoulder, slightly shocked with the sudden hug. She nodded when he spoke and turned her head to him. "Ok, if you're fine with it, then I'll keep the sword" Halima smiled and put one of her arms around Amun while he hugged her. She squeezed him gently and then let go. "Sleep well, hope I didn't keep up for too long, sounds like your days are jam packed with studies and stuff." she chuckled.

Amun let go as well. "No, no. That's okay. After all, i'm the one that invited you." He pat her shoulder. "Remember, if you need anything, my house is at the edge of the city. It's a big one. Can't miss it." He mounted his horse. "Goodbye." He rode off.

Halima waved as Amun rod off into the night. She yawned and picked up her cape that was on the ground. It was still slightly wet, but not as badly as it was before. She held it up wide so that the heat from the fire dried off the cape, but she made sure she wasn't too close for it to be set ablaze. Once she thought it was warm enough, Halima quickly kicked a part of the log that was not on fire towards the Nile. The log rolled along and into the deep cold water of the Nile.

She yawned again and lay her cape out on the ground. She lay on top of of the warm cap and slowly, closed her eyes. A few minutes passed by while her eyes were closed. In those minutes she thought of what happened in the palace and how Amun was tied to it all. Drifting away from thoughts of Amun, she thought of a better life. A life with parents, people that wanted to talk with her, riches, food and many other simple luxuries she did not have. She shed a tear about the thoughts of parents, eventually shedding more to classify it as crying. A she sobbed, she eventually fell asleep.

At Amun's home, a little later, Amun was lying in his bed. His mind wandered until, eventually, he drifted off to sleep.

Slowly Halima awoke to the warm morning sun of the desert. She held her arm over her eyes, her eyes were slightly blinded with the sudden exposure of light. She grunted and then rubbed her eyes, cleaning the crust that had gotten into the corners before sitting up. "Morning already.." she mumbled before yawning.

She rubbed the back of her neck and then looked at the sword Amun had given her the previous night. She smiled and then rolled off her cape which she had been using as a mat for the night. She stood up and put here cape on and put the hood on. She then grabbed her sword and sighed. "Where to next..... Guess I need to get some breakfast. Looks like it'll be a long walk back to the Nile" she shook her head and looked at the sun. It looked like it was hovering just above the water. She smiled at the sight, then walked down the shore of the Nile, towards the path that lead to the city.

She noticed someone further down the shore, someone sleeping. She raised an eyebrow, wondering when the person had arrived to the Nile. She started to get closer and closer to the man, and soon she was starting to find the person familiar.

Amun awoke the next morning. More than likely, he wouldn't have any training today because of the incident last night. He got out of bed, stripped, got dressed in his clothes for the day, picked up his bow and arrows, and then went off.
