Set
"Why, sister, what a nice surprise! Here to see if I've done my job?"
Isis smiles. Cold wind carries the smell of the river to us. I fight the urge to inhale it, knowing how hard it would be to let go. I look at the water, focusing on the in and out of the waves.
"Have you?" Isis asks.
"What?"
"Have you done your job, Set?" she sighs and crosses her arms. "We don't have all night."
I look back at the Kane mansion. Amos's window is open slightly to let in some fresh air. I turn back to Isis. "I believe so."
She nods. "Let's get to work then. No incantations have worked. I can't even reach her through a river. Whatever sealing spell Iskandar has used, it's good."
"So have you talked to him yet?"
Isis scowls. "Who, Iskandar?"
"No, sister, Santa Claus. Yes, of course Iskandar! You know we can just ask him where he hid the girl, right?"
"I-"
"Didn't think of that?"
"Oh, shut up! Last time I was searching for someone, asking wasn't an option."
I grin. "Why not? I promise I would've been helpful."
Isis sighs. "Let's just head to Duat. Who knows how long we have before Horus starts wondering what's taking us so long."
"Why are you keeping this from him, anyway?"
"Priorities, Set." She looks at the nome. "If word gets to his host that we're looking for the girl, you can kiss the world goodbye."
