[There's a twitch in his face when Karna chooses to reply to him without moving to stand. He bites it back for now, however--he can teach the other how to obey his motions later. Instead, now was the time to talk, and to decide to do with... him. His gaze is flitting along the others' body, and though he loathes to admit it, he was wrong to judge the other on first glance. The robe Nitocris dressed the man in was loose enough to make it a little more obvious than it had looked before.
But, to counteract his irritation, Karna's words seem to soothe him. Being curious suggests interest, after all--and if Karna could admit to wanting to see more of his Grand Works, then perhaps there was merit to the man after all.]
Is that so? I do declare, having noticed that your gaze has not once faltered or changed since you have come under my power. I, at first, likened it to you being in a state of spiritlessness due to having given yourself up to fate.

You are in the Land of Egypt now. No matter how strong your powers are, you are now under the power of the Gods of this land. They will not allow a foriegner to unleash their full power within the city they have seen fit enough for me to govern.
[Sad for you.]
Stand. I want to get a better look at you. I still have not decided on what fate I should truly leave you with.
[now that the title of 'wife' was ... inappropriate.]
