Yo, pharoah bro! Haha, sorry for heading off without warning! I got a job! We can probably afford another bed now! Now you won't have to worry about us being cramped!
Haha, nothing of the sort. The chroma's a plus, though. You give it really well.
[ That's what they're calling it. ]
Anyway, the job's at a café! I figured I'd learn some modern cooking, too. Maybe you'll like some of it? Even if we don't need meals, there's no harm in keeping busy, right?
And I'd still be home in time to look after everything. Have you met more of the other Servants around here?
Of course, any other chroma you deign to receive elsewhere would never be as rich and fulfilling as mine. I expect you will always keep coming back for more, and what sort of king would deny his most loyal of followers a taste of luxury?
[ That means he has no intention of making Arash sleep anywhere but his bed. ]
If my loyal followers are well-fed and taken care of, then they will see no reason to revolt. However, if you wish to repay me in nourishment, then I will allow it on the condition I treat you first to a feast.
[ Loyal of followers... he can't help but chuckle at that. Ozymandias really is something, and he's not quite sure what to think of him yet. But, hey, a feast... ]
Oh? Sounds like you've been coming into more chroma, then? Wouldn't be able to feast without it! Tell you the truth, I was thinking we could stay in later. I've got some things I want to try making. You've probably not have food from home in a while too, right?
But if you want to treat, I'll go wherever you want. What did you have in mind?
Oho? To be treated in my own home? I suppose this land is ripe for new experiences, but I cannot allow it. You are my guest, after all.
However, denying you the opportunity to cook your favorite foods is also a cruelty in itself. I have decided, by that measure, to supply the ingredients and the wine and let you cook in front of me.
[ He does miss the sort of spoils he had gotten when he had been alive and would also enjoy seeing how it had evolved by Arash's own lifetime. ]
[ That's kind of understandable... he is sort of leeching off the pharoah's hospitality by staying with him, isn't he?
What he says next, however, makes him beam. ]
I wouldn't expect otherwise! We're going to have to work together if we're helping one another, right? Just tell me what you'd like and I'll get right on it. It's only fair!
Is that what you believe? How quaint. I will play along, Archer! Only the finest of ingredients and the finest of wine!
I would like to sample your favorite dish and understand better one of two servants who holds the honor of having defeated me.
[ He isn't sure if it will actually bring him closer to finding what he's looking for... if he's even looking for anything. Maybe it's just idle curiosity that continues to draw him to the archer. ]
[ He smiles at this text. Ozymandias is cute at the best of times, but he's just really nice to him for some reason. He can't say why, but...
Well, he'll leave the deep thinking to people like Ritsuka, really. Not that he thinks much either, sometimes... ]
You keep mentioning that, you know. I remember- Well, some things are hard to forget. Even if we never met then, I suppose it's fate we came together again, isn't it?
Then I've got just the thing. We're going to make some joshpara! You're going to help too, okay?
You are getting far too bold with me, making me get my hands dirty with not a second thought. What makes you think I would not execute you for even asking?
[ As much as he acts offended, he really does not terribly mind if it's coming from Arash. Anyone else, he might not be so keen to accept. ]
However, I did give you my word I would participate in this culinary venture, so you can expect no immediate recourse this time. Tell me more of your joshpara.
Haha! That's right, you're a pharoah. It'd be beneath you, wouldn't it? But it's not so bad, is it? Not everyone can say they've been fed by the hands of a generous ruler.
[ He has respect for good leaders, just like his former king in another lifetime. ]
Let's see... Joshpara is a delicacy! It's a little pouch of dough, filled with flavour, and boiled in stew. It's so juicy, it melts in your mouth! Ah, just thinking about it makes my mouth water. We're going to have to work hard to make them perfect. Only the best for you, okay?
A pharaoh should know and understand every level and function in his kingdom, which does include culinary exploits. It is not as beneath me as you may think.
[ Besides, he enjoyed fixing treats with Nefertari and Moses when they were all young. It might be nice to relive the feeling. ]
And this Joshpara will be an easy conquest. I will make the best-tasting kind you have tasted, and once spoiled, you will eat no one else's.
Will you despise me if I forever ruin all other Joshparas for you?
If you're sure. I just remember feeling good with them.
I'll be happy if you wanted to feed me the best Joshpara, though. I wouldn't want any less for anyone, and you wouldn't either. So no, I wouldn't hate you.
But you might have to compete with me for my own! I'm pretty good at them, after all. Will you be mad if I show you up?
[ He hears it, alright. It makes him smile where he is, too, which happens to be close to home! It's strange, how radiant his presence is. Overpowering and frightening, but warm, and he can feel it from here, too. ]
I hope you won't, King of Kings. I'd be sad if you did! Here, how about I send you the recipe, first? I'll be home in a bit. We can go out together and get the ingredients on the morrow, yeah? This'll be fun! See you soon, okay?
Hey, Pharaoh! Your pharaoh-fiction's got some fan art! The prismals have been trying to figure out what you were describing! Look at these! Aren't they amazing?
A reader of yours! They're eagerly awaiting your future chapters. We should celebrate your success! All that effort paid off! And I know just what to celebrate with. ( ⸝⸝•ᴗ•⸝⸝ )੭⁾⁾
Excellent! Though I see no need to write any more tales about those wretched musicians. My attention is better served in other matters. They will have to contend themselves with Pharaoh fiction of myself and my wife, the original lovers of legend! Yes, that will be my next tale.
Now, what shall we celebrate it? I have a bottle of wine opened and ready.
Wherever you want, Pharaoh. No place like the rooftops of where we live, yeah? Gotta say, I'm just glad you're not going anywhere, too. It'd be really quiet without you, you know?
[ Since this is actually after he loses his fight... welp ]
The rooftops then. And anywhere without me would be far less interesting, though it is only capriciousness that keeps you near. I have no need for you any longer.
[ Mostly his own capriciousness really. ]
I will toast well to this occasion and drink twice on your behalf for your time of service!
