Chapter Seven: Meaning
Isis' POV
What a beautiful sunrise.
I'd forgotten how nice the sun looks over the water.
Funny, considering the same sun had set over the same ocean the day we'd left Domino.
"Neesan?" I hear my brother's voice, but do not turn.
"Niikun?" I reply to let him know his presence has been acknowledged. He walks up and hugs me from behind, and I gasp lightly. He giggles softly, then walks over beside me, on my right. His left arm stays across my back, that hand holding the left side of my waist. Correspondingly, I extend my right arm across his back and hold the right side of his waist with that hand. Instinctively, we tilt our heads towards each other and rest them together.
"Do you truly forgive me?" he asks.
"Hai… I truly forgive you," I smile.
"Ii…" he sighs. There's an awkward silence, and then he asks the inevitable question I've been waiting to hear since he'd learned the ways of the Ancient Egyptians. "Are we supposed to be together?"
"As brother and sister, always," I say, making the situation even more difficult for him.
"No," he says, slightly irritated by my response. "I mean…as a couple?"
"Well, we were raised to follow the ways of our ancestors," I say, turning to him slowly.
"Yeah…" he seems uneasy, but turns to me as well. "But just look what the scriptures did to me! Maybe that was a sign that copying our past is a bad idea!"
"Well we'll never know until we try," I say, leaning in towards him.
"No," he swallows hard. "I guess not…"
