	Aziza wasn't exactly sure what to say to the man who introduced himself and started talking about Germans. She looked at him perplexed for a moment before shaking her head just ever so slightly. [color=a187be]"No, it was no German. It was..."[/color] she said before letting her words trail off as the rest of what he said came to the forefront of her mind. Seemed as if her and Harry were not the only ones having issues. 

	Vera nodded towards Nora and smiled. [color=f7976a]"That would be most helpful. I am sad to say that I have none of the original markings here at my disposal. They were on the walls at the ruins but if we make the trek there perhaps you can deduce what it means and then I can properly translate it. It seems as good a place as any to start,"[/color] Vera interjected before heading over to a cabinet and unlocking it. Pulling the drawer open she started pulling out a stack of folders, papers dropping out of her hands and floating to the floor as the stack got higher and higher the more she pulled out. [color=f7976a]"Oh this is most exciting. The thought of visiting the cult home of Bastet. What all will we discover? I know these things seem like a bunch of magical experiences but there is always a logical and scientific explanation. We just have to figure out what it is. Perhaps there was a reaction in the metal mixture, or some long ago forgotten,"[/color] she rambled on and on as she looked over towards Nora as she pulled out more and more from the filing cabinet. The stack now higher than her chin and beginning to wobble left and right as she spoke. 

	Looking over towards Harry, Aziza smiled slightly. [color=a187be]"Always the proper gentleman aren't you?"[/color] she said in a gentle voice as he introduced himself to Reginald. Reaching out she took the cloth from the Lord Major. [color=a187be]"Thank you Lord Reginald. I assure you I am fine. Harry and Lauren were quick to get me to safety and they haven't left my side since. Two truer friends one couldn't ask for,"[/color] she said reassuring Reginald that she had been in good hands since everything went down. 

	As Reginald went on to introduce everyone to everyone else Vera looked over, her mid speech broken as things were directed towards her. [color=f7976a]"Oh yes, of course Uncle. Thing is a journey of this size with this many people. Well it will take days for us to get everything together as Mr. Drake can attest. Such explorations cannot be rushed into. We will need modes of transportation, tents, food, water, comforts. All of which will cost a substantial amount of money. We will have to be prepared for a dig, examination of the site, dealing with the harsh hot days and the blistering cold nights. Not to mention supplies in case any of us are bitten by the numerous snakes and other poisonous creatures that make their home out in the desert,"[/color] she said as she started to walk back over to the group, one hand under the files, one hand on top and it wobbling side to side like a toddler trying to get out of her hands.
