He says his piece and she seems reluctant to take him at his word - although it seemed reasonable to doubt him since he was not, in fact, Atair himself. He does not pressure, though, because he meant what he said about it being her decision to trust them again or not, to become part of them or not."It may not be as simple as that. In the absence of the Sadim, I gave to temptation." His ears flicked in two directions, confused by what temptation she meant and having no tether to the stars to divine her meaning until she explained.
"I gave him the name Ra; his coat the same color as the sun the day he was born. He resides in the Hills." Suddenly her meaning is clear, although it still makes him confused that this “Ra” might be some kind of obstacle. "While the boldness of stealing a gods name for your child is still confusing to me as it had been when we found out your own name, I am not certain I understand what this does to bar you from choosing to make my brother’s household whole again?".
He tilts his head, trying to put aside the strangeness of daring a god’s wrath by the theft of their name. He can look past it, of course, it just needed a moment to settle… "Have you believed yourself physically beholden to the master of a household if you were to join one?" He supposed he must have been so much worse of a leader than he had believed. "Your position within my brother’s house was to be one of protection and aid to Eness alone… although it is true that it would limit your choices if you also chose to seek a husband or a sire for your womb… And it is my own negligence that led you to misunderstand. A Sister of Pakhet is often times chosen of the wives, a Hand of Bastet title may be given to a wife - but neither are forced to be one or even to bear children into the household. Your son would simply be your son. He could not inherit the household of Atair because he is not of my brother, but he can belong to our Sadim all the same."
He does not even consider that it might be his breeding that Sakhmet believes to be unfit - but she is Arabian enough for Ra to have at least half a hope for surviving the Dunes. "If he will oathe himself to me and our Sadim, he will be at least welcomed here in this place. His existence predicates nothing of your choice today… Blood of your blood is blood of our blood if you choose to answer the call of your Sister who loves my Brother."
