"You are betrothed to set by birthright, as you know and must require special training due to his..nature" Tefnut said to her fair skinned granddaughter. Isis snorted an inelegant sound. Earning a nasty look from their grandmother
"Yes grandmother I understand" Nephthys replied respectfully, ignoring isis and hiding her excitement at the mention of her engagement with her brother set. She sat on the grass next to her sister with her legs tucked under herself, she was enjoying these outside lessons with the fresh air.
"Good, now we can begin."
Meanwhile:
Seth stood in front of long full length mirror as a tailor worked carefully on his suit.
"Brother are sure about black?" Seth asked cocking his head to the side
"Of course, you must! It's a classic, and it looks nice against your skin" Osiris assured him from his chair near the window, peeling his eyes away from whatever was outside distracting him.
"Everything looks nice against my skin, but c'mon reds my thing, black? That's deaths thing"
"Trust me" osiris replied his eyes still glued to the outside
"Quit staring at her, you'll scare her off" set joked
"Hm?" osiris said obviously not paying attention to anything but Isis
"Hey lover boy, im talking to you" set teased his older brother
"Sorry what?" osiris snapped back into reality
"You've got bad dear brother" seth said still looking uncertainly at the mirror
"I know" Osiris sighed turning to look back at set.
He just like everyone else was giddy with excitement at his and his siblings upcoming weddings, the union of two gods was no small event. He was to be married to his his sister Isis, although they were arranged to be married at birth he still felt as though it had been his choice, he'd always admired her and her strong will and determination. Not to mention was was beautiful, with her caramel blonde hair and tan skin, her gorgeous brown eyes and sturdy body. She was a sight. And he had loved her for as long as he can remember. Their wedding was in nearly 5 days! He was uncertain if he could wait that long. Now that it was so soon it seemed forever.
"Your suit is ready my lord" the tailor said humbly, startling osiris out of his thoughts
"You may return to your chambers, my servants will bring you your pay immediately" set said waving him away, the tailor nodded and scurried off
"One step closer to your wedding" osiris said with a smile
"Indeed" set responded with a grin
"You excited?" the eldest asked
"How could I not be, marrying a goddess like Nephthys?" The soon to be groom said with a smirk. His wedding being in 6 days, Osiris's first seeing as he's older and to be the next king.
"Yes she is nice" Osiris replied kindly.
"Suspiciously nice" set said with a laugh
"Agreed" Osiris laughed
Meanwhile:
"How was your "special" lessons sister" Isis used air quotes at the word "special"
"Strange" Nephthys admitted. Her grandmother made her stay an hour after her usually lesson hours to teach her how to behave and care for such a "wild" husband. It was quite insulting actually
"I'll bet" Isis laughed, c'mon now let's go get spruced up and join the other at dinner." Her older sister said pulling Nephthys into her bedroom.
"You should wear that one dress you have, you know the blue the one that goes to mid thigh with the open back but with small gold chains and jewels over it?" Nephthys nodded it was one of her favorites
"Yeah you should wear it"
"I might" Nephthys said looking at her sisters makeup
"Only if you do my makeup" nephthys added
"Deal" her sister smiled and walked into her closet. Only to return a few moments later with a long silky sleeveless multi colored dress and in her other hand a pair of tall sparkly high heeled shoes
"I'm wearing this" she announced
"Its nice" Nephthys said admiring her sisters bold sense of fashion, Nephthys could never wear something so colorful and bright
"I know" Isis smiled slipping them on, Nephthys went to grab her dress and returned to show her sister
"You look hot" Isis said with a whistle
"Oh no" Nephthys frowned. She'd been going for cute and flirty not hot and sexy.
"What? Girl work it!" Isis said helping nephthys buckle her shoes
"I don't know, I might change" She said uncertain now
"No don't! This is good, i'm sorry I misspoke. You look cute" Isis reassured her
"Alright I suppose" Nephthys agreed. Her sister smiled and pulled her into a chair and began working with the makeup, Nephthys allowed her mind to wander to her wedding day. She imagined herself in a long puffy white gown walking down the aisle, seth waiting for her at the altar smiling at her largely, she meets him there and he takes her hands in his and saying his vows, finally the question is asked and they say their I do's eager to get to the sealing kiss. He leans in closer and closer until they are centimeters apart, her heart racing she leans in and..
"Nephthys, you can stop puckering now..I already did your lipstick" Her sisters voice snapped her out of her daydream. She blushed
"Sorry, I was distracted." Nephthys smiled sheepishly
"Riiight, anyway we better go we're going to be late" Isis said pulling her younger sister out of the chair and guiding her downstairs for their celebration dinner.
