The Painter's Musing

Summary: The sight of the strong and stern Pharaoh Seti standing along with his queen and sons is normal but seeing a smile on his lips is something else which seems only his family may normally see.

The painter hums painting in the two young princes as they softly giggle and laugh while wrestling around in front of their parents. He glances up to start on the queen when he sees something rather shocking. A smile on the Pharaoh's lips. The normal stern and strong man rarely shows any emotions but here before the painter is proof he's more than a ruler. He's a loving husband with his family having their portrait made.

The love for his queen shines brightly as he gazes down at her. His arm wrap around her waist settling her close by his side. Her own smile soft and motherly as the two princes continue to wrestle before stopping to grin up happily than look at the painter.

Not wanting to lose his concentration again goes back adding the queen as her beauty shines through while adding parts of her husband. He nods. Being a father and husband while making a living of painting isn't much but it's a trade he loves. Whereas the Pharaoh grown up in a life of luxury and riches.

Both have the same thing. Love of a woman that will be by their sides to the last and dying day. He smiles bowing to the royal family ready to present the painting showing a family that truly loves one another and stand together. Seti made sure to pay a bit more for the work finding it a wonderful job as he let his wife talk to herself where it should go. He didn't question the musings of the painter as it's not his business. He done a job of having his wife happy and satisfied with that.
