Well, they fairly quickly recognized that the wolves has no control. There is no satisfaction in punishing someone who was not conscious of the pain they caused.
[ boring!!! boring to forgive the wolves, boring that the wolves might never have killed otherwise. ( danny johnson mvp wolf!!! ) ]
Why, I am a man of many talents and pleasures, Daniil! If I told you everything, I could not surprise you later.
[ set loves to talk, that much is obvious. what he loves more, is telling stories. for daniil, he switches over to a video call — the dim sounds of distant conversation ( for at this time, he's still in the cell with the Wolves and lucifer ) filling the atmosphere behind him. tucked in a corner of his bed, he places the phone in a spot to prop it up, leaving his hands free. ]
Apart from the lands surrounding the Nile, Egypt is desert. The lands that I am, and also rule are the deshret, while the black, fertile lands are the kemet. The Nile is our blood, and flows from the northern sea to the depths of lands beyond ours. That is where we sail.
Our boats, [ the fingers of his hands blur into soft, glimmering motes of pale sand, a formless dust cloud that soon retakes shape into a short boat, with a single sail and the heads of antelopes on either perched point of fore and aft. ] Are either rowed by servants, or sailed by a single individual. We decorate them with our sacred animals, we paint them brilliant colors, we promise their use and length of life to Ra, whom faithfully sails her barque across the sky and through Duat.
We depend on the winds of my father, when we sail. Without him, one must work under their own strength to propel the boat. Both are satisfying. If you want, when I am free of here... I can always show you. Hearing of it is one thing, experiencing it is another. The presence of the water and the wind — it is a liberating thing.
Then, before it is too cold and the lake freezes over, I will take you sailing.
[ And inevitably, he'll crash-course Daniil in HOW to sail. Because if there's one thing Set loves more than his degree in yapology, it's MENTORING PEOPLE. ]
To make a long explanation shorter: gods such as I are multiple things all at once. I am a man, as you can see. I am also an animal, and the endless, arid desert that form part of the Egyptian lands. I mean that quite literally. The animals you saw are called "antelope". I am one of them.

I do not want for much. Being caged is a pain, though. I want to play tennis and sail, not languish here.

I would love that. Yes, please!
What are those animals on your boat, you said they were sacred. What do they mean to you?

Have you never seen an antelope in your world?

[ a beat. ]
I don't think you'd like my world. I don't like my world, it's--
Dark, and dying, and hopeless. I've seen the odd deer, out in the woods where the werewolves were hunting. Is that anything like an antelope?
