Welcome to my Per
I am Redjita, a painter and artifact seller lured here to the new city of Akhet-Aten as a chance to start fresh. I am a court painter, which has turned out to include mural art supporting the Aten.
*Drops to a conspiratory voice* I was suprised to find we are not allowed any sort of shrine or house of worship to the Aten. Just a bunch of dumb murals of the royal family looking weird and being beneficient of the Aten. Are you confused as I am? This Pharaoh smoking something funny methinks. Or perhaps all that intermarrying has made them all crazy.
What's that you say? You are a family friend of the royal family? um. erm. Scratch that, I was just testing you! HA HA. Just an old joke. Wanted to see if YOU were loyal. *cough* sure. Can I interest you in this sacred oil from an Aten blessed snake? I just so happen to have stumbled on one of the last vials in our sacred black lands last month. Lucky you! Also, I could paint a mural in your home and make you appear like you lost 40 stones. Interested?
What's that? No no, you are mistaken dear visitor. I'm not in the least nervous or wary! Why, it's not as if I'm here in Akhet-Aten dodging any angry sandal-less magistrates missing a left ear. Sheesh!
