	Vera looked over at Josephine and felt her own brow aching deeply. She wanted to go along on this? Found it exciting? That was odd to her. Not that she herself wasn't excited at the possibility of learning something new but the actress didn't strike someone that would want to go crawling around in the dust and insects that came along with a dig site. Maybe there was more to this woman that was on the surface. Granted that thought quickly left her mind when she saw Josephine quickly wrap her arm around Williams and him responding in a favorable way to the action. The man seemed to love to get her flustered, tormenting her constantly, and now welcoming advances of a new comer? Shaking her head she bit her tongue, jealously was something that was very unlady like indeed. 

	Turning her attention to the others she could not help but agree with them on many levels and disagree with them on others but it seemed that one person was not voicing her opinion at all on the matter. Looking over towards Nora, Vera opted to rise from her seat and step over to the woman. She seemed right prim and proper, reminding her of herself before she had left England. Vera still tried to conduct herself with the utmost decorum but time here in Egypt had done some work on roughing out her once pristine and polished edges. Granted she had to wonder how much of that was just from exposure towards Mr. Drake. 

	Glancing at the man with the starlet on his arm she found herself swallowing slightly. The entire situation irked her for reasons she could not fathom. They were not courting in any sense of fashion and he was far beneath her status. The [i]ton[/i] would have her head if she ever dared to even consider a courtship with an American, much less a treasure hunter. Everything about him screamed scandal. Yet she could feel something pinging within her that his attentions were on another. Something akin to disappointment. She couldn't blame him though. Josephine was stunning. Bright blonde hair, eyes just as bright, a figure that she flaunted and she was obvious skilled in the art of seduction. Where as Vera none of those. She was pretty in her own right but it was hard to see beneath the oversized clothing, the way her brown hair curled and refused to stay out of her face. She was a bluestocking afterall, she had no idea how to even approach a man. 

	Pushing the thought out of her mind though the look of disappointment remained in her eyes she looked over towards Nora and smiled slightly, nearly tripping as she walked over to her. The woman was without any grace. [color=f7976a]"What are your thoughts on the matter Lady Kingston? I am most interested with what a fellow lady of the peers has to say on the matter,"[/color] she said with the utmost sincerity. She wanted to know what Nora was thinking about on the subject. The woman had been branded herself and they all seemed to be in this together. Perhaps she wasn't shy like she had originally thought, perhaps she was just going by custom and waiting to speak when she was spoken to. Others had given their questions and opinions, Vera would wait to answer them until after she had spoken with Nora.

	[color=a187be]"It seems like we all have questions that need answers,"[/color] Aziza said as she stood up and glanced around the room. She wanted nothing more than to just lock the door and forget about everything right then. The dreams, the attack, the burning light, and even the sound of the prison that had rung out hours before alerting the city that there was someone that had broken free. Being out on the streets was the last thing she wanted right then but it seemed no matter where she went that evening she could be reached by some force. Hearing Henry say he would go with them she let out a sigh of relief and smiled over to him. 

	Taking a small step to close the distance and suddenly wrapping her arms around him, pulling him in for a hug. Embracing someone was not how she normally acted, at least not towards someone of a different gender. She had exchanged hugs with Lauren from time to time, they were friends in her mind. This though, this embrace, was just everything coming out at once. Her fear and her relief that he would be by them. She was shaking as she held there for a moment, her nerves clearly showing. Slowly she pulled back as she realized what she was doing, looking up at him slowly. [color=a187be]"Thank you,"[/color] she said quietly before turning away and gathering her bag. 

	Moving over towards Lauren she slipped her arm through hers and made her way out the door, waiting for Henry to step out so she could lock it behind them. Letting Henry lead the way they moved through the streets of Cairo quickly, every sound and movement causing Aziza's head to turn this way and that as she kept an eye out for anything that could go wrong. Her fingers tightening a few times on Lauren's arm as they went until she breath a very noticeable sigh of relief as they entered the museum. Walking up to the information desk in the main hall Aziza started conversing in Egyptian Arabic with the receptionist, the two going back and forth for a few minutes and the woman behind the desk pointing down the hall way. Nodding Aziza turned back to look over towards Henry and Lauren. 

	[color=a187be]"She says most everyone that works here has gone home from the night but that there is a librarian still in that might be able to help us,"[/color] Aziza said before shrugging. [color=a187be]"I guess it is better than nothing,"[/color] she said before motioning down the hall way. Stepping around the desk, she made her way through the museum, trying to remember which direction to take and having to ask a janitor at one point which way they needed to go to get to Lady Munn's office. Finally finding the room the door open she peeked her head inside to see a rather large group of people speaking. 

	[color=a187be]"Sorry to bother but we are looking for Lady Munn?"[/color]
