For every joy, there is a price to be paid.
The only thing that is humiliating is helplessness.
ABASI
Wessex's point was a good one and one Abasi had not really considered before. His entry to Caido had been confused and swift, more akin to being thrown across worlds than any kind of organised or chosen system. "I suppose you are right. As I said, it is sensible to simply accept things here anyway, I think."
He frowned, unsure what life without a leader would look like. It sounded barbaric. "How did you make decisions? Speak to other nations? To have no leader is like a body with no head..."
As for his home, he was thrilled for a chance to speak about it in a more general sense, to feed into his intense homesickness. "Yes, it is very hot; the desert sun is different from the sun here, which seems almost shy. We are along the Nile, a great river that feeds our crops and our livelihoods, though we also have flood seasons...we are prepared, though." With a sad smile he looked up to the sky. "I had a room in Pharaoh's palace looking over the city. Large windows so you could see the sky as you worked and a pool outside. It was beautiful. I fear I took it for granted, then." Now, he would give anything for five minutes in his old lodgings.

If his heart rules him,
his conscience will soon take the place of the rod.
