Almost a year in the circus and Kesi has yet to find her true calling. She began as a contortionist. While she was flexible, perhaps more than what is average, it was not even a fraction of the other contortionists in the circus’ skill. She made the switch to acrobat, and while Kesi was light on her feet, she simply did not have the showmanship the acrobats had. Kesi then made the switch to lion taming, something she did have quite a lot of fun in. She had a penchant for cracking a whip perhaps a little too often.
Kesi floated not finding a place in this new world. She always knew she would be a part of it, and as horrible as it felt being a constant disappointment she was glad to see her brother again. Still, she wished she had one skill that she could call her own, aside from an interest of poisons. She wished she could show her brother she truly could help the circus and be more than just an errand girl.
Speaking of errand, Kesi found herself at the docks of Alexandria trying to find a specific ship. Merchants had sailed in with wares her father had long since requested. It was another waste of money if you asked Kesi, but no one ever did ask her and she knew better than to voice it. She didn’t want to get forced into the chest again.
The young child walked back and forth aimlessly. She went from ship to ship, slowly approaching before second-guessing whether or not that it was the ship she was looking for. She must have approached each ship dozens of times, only skipping the ones she knew were of Egyptian origin. The problem with the list that her father gave her was that it was mostly written in Greek. Most likely he was thinking of the Greek merchant and didn’t even consider double-checking the task he was sending his daughter on. Kesi had been learning Greek. Growing up in Alexandria left her exposed to the language, and working in business left the need to learn different languages. It still, however, wasn’t up to par. Which left her wandering the docks frustrated unsure as to what to do.
She wasn’t looking in front of her when suddenly she felt herself bump into what felt like a wall. Kesi blinked and took several steps back. In front of her stood a blond, tall man. His eyes blue like the ocean he likely came from, and skin kissed by the sun. The girl blinked at the man and rubbed the edge of her nose.
“Watc-” She went to say in her native tongue then stopped. This man was likely Greek, was he not? Perhaps he could be of use. “I mean… sorry?” She fumbled with her words, trying to speak Greek. She held out the paper towards him. “You help, yes?” she tried to ask. Her head tilted to one side, and her dark eyes widen into doe-like innocence, “My Greek… very bad…”

He hadn’t been in Egypt for long, but that was probably a good thing. His face was covered mostly by a hood, even though he hadn’t traveled very far away from the docks. The docks were probably the safest place for Geeks, just because it was easy for Egyptian guards to make them go away, without having to drag them very far. But with Tim always being on edge in Egypt, Adrestus didn’t like taking chances. His hands were uncovered, though, and this was a dead give away to who the sailor actually was, as much as he tried to hide himself. He walked along the docks without his friends, mostly minding his own business while also talking to other sailors. The air was quiet.
He wasn’t even looking in Kesi’s direction as he felt her run into him. He blinked for a moment and then noticed the younger child before smiling. Even in Adrestus’s teen years, he was fairly kind, and didn’t really see anyone’s harmful intent at first. She looked innocent enough! She spoke and he tried to understand her, and he lowered himself slightly so he could hear her better. “That’s okay, I am sorry too.” He apologized, looking over at her, his eyes shining in a friendly manner. He didn’t want any trouble though, and he kept his distance. He frowned at the paper being offered to him, and he slowly reached out to take it. He didn’t understand what she was trying to do, but… it wasn’t like he was about to walk away when she asked for him. Not unless he had important matters- which in this case he didn’t. He glanced over the paper, and he was relieved it was in Greek.
At this point, his cryptic was poor, but since they had been traveling they had been trying to learn more languages for them to get by and survive in different kingdoms. Adrestus heard her speak again, and he gave her a comforting smile. “Yes, I help.” He spoke in Kesi’s native language. He moved to stand up straighter, to fully read the paper. From what he read, she needed to find a specific ship, one that, thankfully, Adrestus would know how to look for. “What’s your name?” He spoke, once he had finished reading. It was a good thing he was noble and had learned how to read.
“I know how to help.” He spoke, before reaching out so that she would come closer to him. "I can help you find what you are looking for. Would you like me to tell you what this paper means? And then help you look?"

Oh good! Kesi didn’t have to fumble over trying to speak Greek. She didn’t much like the language anyway. It felt odd every time it flowed from her tongue, unnatural even. She still always made an attempt to learn it when given the opportunity, but she wasn’t near as excellent as her brother was. Instead, Kesi took an interest in the Greek people as a whole. They were an unusual bunch, who always seemed to be covered up despite the heat of the blazing sun. They also worshiped false gods, to which Kesi felt great pity for their people. Not that she was as devout as a priest, but she did pray to the Egyptian gods, especially to Set. Did the Greeks have a god like Set?
“I’m Kesi,” the young teenager said with a tinge of confusion evident in her voice. Why did he want to know her name? Did the note mention her name? What would he name even look like written in Greek letters? Is that even possible to write? Do the Greeks have sounds for her name?
Oh he can read the paper? Perfect! “Yes, mister! I know that I’m supposed to be looking for a ship. And on that ship is a merchant. And with that merchant is our wares.” Kesi’s nose wrinkled. “My father wasn’t very descriptive. He was fairly busy,” and a little inebriated, “when he gave me this task.”
Kesi’s eyes scanned the docks once again. There were so many boats on this day. It wasn’t unusual for the docks to be busy, but not typically this busy. Alexandria was the northernmost point in Egypt, a connection to Greece and others in the outside world. Kesi expected this task to take a bit, but with the number of boats docked today it would have taken Kesi ages if it were not for fate having her bump into this man. Maybe she’ll even get home in time to see Amenemhat perform!
“Are Greek skin different than Egyptian skin?” Kesi asked suddenly, looking back at the stranger. “You cover every bit of your flesh despite the heat of the sun. Do the sun’s rays hurt because you do not worship Ra?” Another reason Kesi pitied those that worshiped gods that were not of Egypt. She felt lost right now, but she knew one day she would be found because she had the guidance of Set and her brother to lead her back. The Greeks, on the other hand, will never be found.
“Do Greeks have a sun god, mister?” Kesi asked curiously. “Is this god like Ra? What about a God of Chaos?” Kesi perked up at that thought. “Do the Greeks worship chaos? Or are they only about order and balance?” Kesi wrinkled her nose. “Who judges Greeks when they die?” Well, Kesi knew the answer to that. Anubis, of course, judged them. But the Greeks were foolish enough to not believe that. “What do Greeks have to do to get reborn? Do they get reborn?”

While he knew some Coptic, he wasn’t fluent in it. He could tell from body language and some of her words of what she wanted, and thankfully the letter had been in greek. He knew how to help her, he just had to find the ship she was looking for, and lead her to it. Hopefully, she could take it on her own from there, and he could be on his way. He asked her permission for him to help her, not wanting to make her angry for trying to get into her business. It was hard to speak her language- he wanted to simply show her. The teen smiled as she said her name, and the sailor nodded and pointed to himself. “Adrestus.” He spoke his name, his voice friendly. He smiled as she seemed happy that he could help her, and tried to translate in his mind as to what she was saying. Ship… merchant… wares. “Oh, wares? Okay.” That sounded reasonable enough. Thankfully, they had the letter as a map to use as a tool to find Kesi’s destination.
The docks were extremely busy and he moved closer to her, so that they wouldn’t get separated from the crowds. Kesi started talking more, and again he had to think really hard on the words. Different skin? “We are from different kingdoms.” It was pretty obvious. He glanced as she mentioned her god, and he shook his head. “The sun doesn’t hurt me, I don’t know any Ra. I cover to protect myself from guards.” He explained calmly, wondering if she would understand. “I don’t know these gods,” Adrestus spoke it in greek, not looking for a fight but he was visibly frustrated. He heard her next question about their sun god and Adrestus didn’t hesitate.
“It’s Helios. That is the sun god. I don’t know if he is the same, but he is our sun god.” He said shortly, as he continued to look for her ship with the wares that she was looking for. He blinked as she spoke faster, trying to catch words as she ran along with her sentences. “I don’t understand.” He frowned deeply, trying to but failing. “I am not fluent. I am trying, though.” He gave her a shrug. He didn’t understand her last question either and shook his head. It was clear on his face that he didn’t know what she meant. “Did you say… rebirth?” He paused a second to think of the translation. He still didn’t know what she meant. “Are you talking about Attis?” That was their god of rebirth. But it wouldn’t make sense if she was talking about that.
He let out a sigh. “Come. I help you with your ship, not talk about this.” He said softly, looking at her. “I’m sorry. It must be here.” He kept looking, his eyes flickering this way or that. Why hadn’t they found it yet?

Kesi’s eyes widen at the Greek’s words. Was he an outlaw? Was he on the run? Why was he hiding from the guards? Perhaps else where in Egypt Greeks would be treated harshly, but Alexandria was once a Greek city. There were still Greek milling about and not to mention Kesi’s teacher, Kreios, was a Greek and she didn’t recall him covering up. The natural conclusion that this man was a criminal.
“Oh, oh, are you a thief?” Kesi gasped, looking at the man. “They cut people’s hands off for that, you know! Or did you murder someone? Is that why you don’t want to talk about rebirth? Do you think that person will come back in their second life and enact their revenge?”
The boat was no longer interesting to Kesi. Her father’s anger for her being late didn’t worry her. This man was a criminal. A bonafide bad guy. Anubis would judge him harshly and he would be denied the chance of rebirth. Kesi just had to know why. What made him so bad?
“Do you hurt women?” Kesi’s eyes narrowed at the Greek. “Don’t you try to hurt me. I’ll hurt harder. Is that why you’re running from the guards?”
With each passing second her imagination grew wilder and wilder. He tried to topple a kingdom, or maybe he tried to kidnap a daughter from a rich family. Maybe he had secret hostages! Was Kesi about to be taken hostage? That would be so exciting! She would tell her brother all about it after she got away. It would be a shame for the other people though. Kesi wouldn’t try to save them, and most likely they would slow her down because obviously a guy hiding from the Egyptian guards would be pretty nefarious.
“Are you a pirate?” She continued babbling on. The small girl started bouncing up and down. “You’re a pirate aren’t you? That’s so cool! Do you, like, kidnap little kids and sell them as slaves? Don’t try to sell me. That won’t end well for you. Wow, you must be really evil, mister! How many guards are chasing after you? Is there a ransom your head? Can you get rich off of catching you?”
Maybe she should tell her brother! This would be easy money. This boy didn’t look all that tough. Looks, however, could be deceiving. If you make money off of someone, then he clearly must have tricks up his sleeve. “Does the Pharoh want you dead? Or does he want you alive? Are you going to get taken to prison? Prison is terrible I hear! You could be tortured! They might even cut off your tongue so you never speak again. I would hate if they cut off my tongue. Though I don’t think my dad would mind. He’s threatened it a few times.” And Kesi would promptly go hide behind her brother when he did. She knew if she kept speaking in those situations, he would actually slice the tongue clean off.

Kesi’s eyes widen at the Greek’s words. Was he an outlaw? Was he on the run? Why was he hiding from the guards? Perhaps else where in Egypt Greeks would be treated harshly, but Alexandria was once a Greek city. There were still Greek milling about and not to mention Kesi’s teacher, Kreios, was a Greek and she didn’t recall him covering up. The natural conclusion that this man was a criminal.
