the mortal realm

The stranger did not interrupt him, but Thoth didn’t miss the surprised snort from the stranger. He hadn’t guessed before but as his name slipped from midnight lips but know Thoth knew for sure. Another half sibling. The golden gilded boy blinked back his surprise, ”Well met.. brother.” The words were in common tongue, he could understand the language better than he could speak it. The inky god went on as Thoth wondered how all of the celestial beings could be born into this earth. How was everything even functioning if the heavens were deserted? The Ithuriel boy tried to rid his mind of the questions, this was not the time for them.

Now was not the time to be collecting said mint plant, and Thoth nodded his agreement. Continue on, see what they could find. Then what? Would the two of them stay together? Scout out a place to start settling down where a garden might actually make sense? Thoth didn’t know, but for now tried to focus on the task at hand. His gaze returned to reality as his thin legs carried him after Anubis.

Thoth lifted his head to the air, taking in the scents of all the flowering plants around them, and found something his half brother might find interesting. ”I can smell honeysuckle up ahead.” He offered to the shorter Ithuriel. ”It can be used as a mild disinfectant, and reduces inflammation.” It smelled so floral as well, he liked to dry the flowers and use them in his potpourri.
