Ah, very belated birthday wishes, dear Anzu- I shipped off a surprise package to you right on time, but forgot to update in this journal. I have a little trouble connecting here. Cairo has very fast Internet thingamajigs but it was not all connected and working very well until this morning. I do hope you had a very nice birthday at the day itself,

Thank you so much for remembering me Atemu-kun! And you do know that you didn't need to bother yourself with finding me a present right? It got it two days ago and wished to call you but I think I misplaced your phone number *sheepishly*

Are you both settling in alright?

[_atemu_]

I would be ashamed of myself if I had not remembered the birthday of someone so close to me, Anzu. Of course I knew, but I choose to ignore that particular part as well. Ah, it could also be that we are not really connected here, yet- the bureaucratic course of things is sometimes difficult to get through, and we did have some troubles with the telephone lines here as of late.

I am doing fine, it takes a little while longer for my husband to catch up with the new surroundings, Anzu.

[dancing_hope]

I know you would never forget *smiles* Then the next time you say that I don't need to bother I shall remind you of this particular conversation. Deal? Alright...then I should really try your cellphone. I hate being unable to talk to you guys.

He'll get used to it quickly. Yuugi-kun is strong and getting settled in such a beautiful place shouldn't be too hard.

[_atemu_]

*returns the smile* All right, deal. You are a tough negotiator, Anzu. I should have you as one of my Priests at my Court. *nods* It is always on, and do not mind the time difference. You can call anytime you want.

I am sure of it, Anzu. At the moment it is hard to deal with the notion that family and friends are far away, and not around the corner as they used to be.

[dancing_hope]

I learned with the best, I can assure you. *muses* Well, that would be quite an interesting job for me to have but I don't think priests are allowed to dance so I would be quite sad. I will call you when I get lonely or just want to talk then. But I'll make sure not to wake you at three am.

I understand that well. But he has you. And new friends soon enough.

[_atemu_]

*laughs softly* So I have noticed... it would indeed be interesting- as far as I know, none of my Priests danced indeed, but it would be a great diversity in their job description. After all, we can always make the lovely exception to the rule you are. Yes, that is no trouble at all- call whenever you want to.

The first semester at his university will start up very soon, by then we will get into the daily swing of life.

[dancing_hope]

You were quite a teacher *smiles* I think they would wonder if someone got out of the harem or the kitchens to walk among them. *joking* I don't think they would find it funny Atemu-kun.

Lovely routine isn't it? What did he choose?

[_atemu_]

*hides laughter behind his hand* Even when I am not doing it consciously.. I should have known you would pick it up. *eyes wide* Harem? Kitchens? You would be my advisor on everything partaining to the performing arts, Anzu- and you could teach them how to dance... *laughs again* Here comes the big advantage of being the Pharaoh: you just order them to do it, and they can not protest.

My husband decided to go for a year of orientation first, but his subjects of choice already include lots of history and archeology. English as well, I believe. I am very sure he is going to be a great doctor!

[dancing_hope]

I had to pick up something from you after all this time. What better skill than this one? *bursts out laughing* I can almost see Mahaado-sama or Set-sama learning that. They would kill me just for the sole suggestion of such a thing.

I have no doubt he will. History was always his passion so he will fell right at home. Besides, Egypt breathes history at every corner.

[_atemu_]

Exactly. A very wise choice, Anzu. *amused* It sure would lighten them up a little, would it not? In any case, they will throw their weight around to 'uphold their dignity' and the like.

I am thinking of, whenever we are both settled and everything goes all right, picking up some classes of my own. After all I did take Advanced History at Domino High, which was very enjoyable.

[dancing_hope]

It is, isn't it? *mischievous smile* We should attempt that the next time we're all together. I'm sure it would be an amazing sight.

That's a great idea Atemu-kun. It's never too much to study and...I think if my younger self knew I was saying this she would pass out from horror.

[_atemu_]

You always made the best decisions, Anzu. *fond smile* It would be like a nice ball, or something.. the women in long gowns, the men in sharp tuxedos. *amused at the thought*

We should never pass up on an opportunity to study, is my opinion. The chance to learn something is good for our personal development and broadening our horizons.

[dancing_hope]

Sometimes not always. *laughs* We could do a small one one day. I think it would be a sight never to forget.

You are right. But that's because you grew up and saw what good learning can bring.

[_atemu_]

*good-naturedly* I have not seen you make a very bad choice yet, Anzu. *smiles* It has been quite a while since I had a banquet. The last time we all were together like that was at my wedding day, I believe.

My father was rather insisting about good education, and I adopted that right from him.

[dancing_hope]

You probably were looking to some other side. *small sigh* I can't believe I missed that day.

Then your father and yourself were wise beyond your years because I thought schooling was a drag before high-school.

[_atemu_]

I doubt it... *warm smile* You were unable at that moment, Anzu. Unfortunately, but inevitably... I do take it my husband swamped you with the pictures, right?

*laughs softly* I have always enjoyed reading and learning, and I did not know any better... having Mahaado as personal teacher helped a great deal too. He is the kind of person to make any part of an education fascinating and interesting.
