“Good,” he said sincerely. “I cannot allow a man with your insight and gift to be hidden away from the light. Whatever brought you to your incarceration, I have to trust in my instinct. That you will bring good, and not harm, to the people of Egypt.”

He had to pause for a few long moments, meeting Yosef's gaze. "I've needed to hear someone say that." It was too earnest a confession perhaps, but he knew the man across from him would not judge him for it. "I'm so very glad that circumstance allowed Menni to alert me of you. I... I hope that +

space of the child he did desire, to show me my failings every day, that would have destroyed me.” He thought back to the skinny child he was when he inherited the throne, and it made him even more determined to not fail his country. He looked up and met Yosef’s bright, intense eyes. “I hope you +

Amen nodded. “It shames me to admit that whilst I wouldn’t have done what they did, I understand your brothers’ pain. I was the only child and heir of my father, and it wounded me every day knowing I wasn’t enough for him. Too weak. Too soft. If there had been a sibling who filled the empty +

land far from here?" He couldn't read the man's face. He hoped it was not rude to ask. He did not need to know what crime he had sat in a cell for, but he was fascinated to understand who and what made up the man with his gift. "I understand if you would rather not answer..."

The future. Following Yosef's interpretation, there was a bleakness that the young pharaoh had to overcome. The image of decay... The entire nation failed by him. But behind the dark cloud in his vision, there was light. Yosef. Who had given the insight he needed to change things. To protect +

The unusual cocktail of hope and nerves that sloshed in Amen's stomach reached it's peak at the knock on the door of his private chambers. "Come in, please." As three men entered, he had to blink to recognise the man in the middle. "Yosef?" he asked, doubting himself. Beard and general state +

the first time since his parents' deaths - someone he had decided to trust. He felt the urgency of Yosef's premonition, and knew he had felt calmer about it when Yosef's steady hands had accepted his. Now alone, the entire weight of Egypt felt entirely present on his back. Crushing him. But +

Amenemhat found himself pacing back and forth across his vast quarters as he waited. He wanted to give Yosef time to settle in, and to feel the benefits of warmth and cleanliness he had been denied for so long. Yet how could he rest? When he had so many thoughts about what was to come, and - for +

"I shall send my tailor. You shall have a wardrobe of your own. And then we shall talk about the future: of Egypt and of you." He squeezed Yosef's hand, and leaned in to whisper close to his ear. "Be sure to shave that beard off as well. I want to see what you truly look like." He stepped back +

“As you did me with your interpretation,” he said, reaching out and clasping Yosef’s hand in his. “Now, go wash the grime off you and get comfortable. I will send some of my livery over for you to wear. Unless you have… grown attached to your garment? How many years have you been wearing it?” he +

He wished he had the right words to speak to Yosef in that moment. He could see every emotion Yosef was feeling as he took in his newly naked wrists, but knew whatever he commented would be too hollow. So he changed the subject instead, turning from the surly guards to his attendants. “Prepare +

He nodded. "There is much for us to discuss..." But that was for later. Nuance was for after; now was for action. Setting in motion the next steps. "Guards," he said with a assured squeeze of the man's hands. "Come and cut the chains for Yosef wears. He is your prisoner no longer."

He stepped closer to the man, tilting his chin downwards to the speak directly to Yosef, who stood just a little shorter than him. "This foresight... This *clarity* required both of us, Yosef. I had the vision, but you had the interpretation. I promise not to waste the gift that you have granted +

Amenemhat had never been so glad to be holding onto someone. Since his parent's death, he had not known what it was to feel supported. Guided. Led by someone with certainty and experience. That that someone was a former slave and prisoner should have surprised him. But it did not. "Yosef," he +

proud grain like the most vicious snake. It doesn’t make sense but they *consume* the healthy grain - they absorb it into themselves, until only they remain. The rest of the field wilts and dies and I am left alone in the midst of… nothing. And finally those rural farmers turn to me, and they see +

It’s quiet there - not like the noise of Thebes, but the people are working hard, doing their best to support themselves and their families. I’m isolated from them though - in the midst of tall fields of grain. I’m focused only on one small plot though - seven proud ears of grain that stand tall +

He felt the strength in Yosef’s grasp. In communication. He felt momentum building, like the stagnation he’d felt the last month - for longer if he were honest - was shifting. “It’s similar, but different. I’m further out - in rural parts of the country I haven’t travelled to since I was a child. +
