Listen, I’m sorry, you must be very busy, but can you please hear us out? I’m afraid that my friends will do something even more stupid if you don’t show up to talk to them. They don’t mean anything bad, I promise. They just… I don’t know, actually. I actually have no idea what went through their heads.
I didn't want to preside over court today anyway... It's so boring, and everyone's just Great Pharaoh this and Great Pharaoh that. So it works out you two found me first!
[Here is Shalem too, sans tunic-scarf and shirt and much less... soft in the expression than usual. He's gone a bit insane recently, he hasn't come down from it, can't, really.]
Hmm. [He only restrains himself because there's no battle-- yet.]

[Jesse speeds down the hallway and happens to at this exact moment show up with his clothes singed with lightning.]
Yo, Soujuurou, we gotta book it! Josh and Shalem picked a fight with those snake guards to give us cover to find Atem--
[He then looks over and sees...]
Oh sweet, you found Atem.
