"Uh... yeah... I guess..." Atem muttered, looking away from Ayira. Seto bowed low, looking like he was thinking deeply. "Very well. I will leave you alone for now, pharaoh. I apologize for disrupting your walk." He turned before the pharaoh could respond, and paused before Ayira. "Please come with me. I need to talk with you." He said formally, before brushing past her and back into the palace.

Out of earshot, Seto turned towards Ayira. He lightly placed his hands on her shoulders. "I know you don't know me that well, and you know Atem less. But I want you to marry the pharaoh." He said, rather bluntly. He didn't care to beat around the bush; he had an idea and needed to try and put it into motion.

Ayira blinked a bit shocked "Wha.....Why?" She asked now very confused.

"Egypt needs a queen. Atem has refused just about every woman of nobility I tried to offer him. He likes you-- or at least might, if he gets to know you better." Seto shook his head slightly as he spoke, closing his eyes for a brief moment. After a second or two, they flashed open again. "You can have power-- you'd be the most influential and powerful woman in Egypt. And he needs a queen-- a royal wife. It would be beneficial to both of you."

Ayira let out a soft sigh. She really dident like this idea but if seto thought it was for the best she would do it "Alright." Ayira said not saying much else.

Seto couldn't help but feel disappointed. He knew he shouldn't; he had been hounding Atem for a while now, trying to get him to marry. Now was a suitable candidate, so everything would turn out for the best. The best for the pharaoh. Yes--the pharaoh was what mattered. So what if he also liked this woman? If he could get Atem to agree, it wouldn't matter anymore. She would belong to the pharaoh then. "Good. I'll speak to him later." Seto said to Ayira, smiling slightly, masking his true feelings. He realized that his hands were still on her shoulders and slowly removed them, though part of him wanted to still feel her warmth. He brought his hand up to his face, feeling himself blush slightly. 'Sheesh. What's wrong with me? It's only a woman...'

Ayira looked him in the eyes for a moment "And if he says no?..." she asked. She wanted to know what he was truly thinking.

Seto looked away, gazing out the window to the gardens, watching his cousin walk around, still with the ex-servant. He sighed heavily. "Then I find someone else. And someone else. There has to be someone out there who he will agree to." He turned slowly to look at Ayira, his face its normal color again, his blue eyes no longer icy-- just a little sad. "You would continue living your life, I imagine. Don't worry, there's no punishment for being turned down by Pharaoh."

Seto watched after Ayira, looked out the window at the pharaoh once more, and then followed the woman. He stopped in the doorway of his room after she entered. "Is something wrong?" He asked softly, having noticed her sighing and such. "Look, if you don't want to be with the pharaoh, you don't have to. Nobody will force you."

"If You think it is for the best of your country I will..." Ayira said sitting on his bed "But...Is it wrong if...I like sombody...else?" she asked looking down at her ocrina.

Seto blinked in surprise, and was going to ask for clarification, but thought better of it. It would be best if he didn't become any more personal with this woman if he could help it. "That's for you to decide." He said, his tone blunt. "But it would depend on who the person was and to what extent you liked them. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go attend to other things..."
