	Vera looked over towards her uncle for a moment, a bit dumb struck by the entire series of events before nodding quickly. [color=f7976a]"Yes, of course,"[/color] she said to let him know she was alright. Taking the flask from him she took a quick jolt of it before coughing as she swallowed. Vera was not one to drink and when she did the woman could not hold her liquor by any stretch of the imagination. She knew the flask would have alcohol in it but she hadn't expected the kick that came along with it. Handing it over to to him once again she let out a shallow breath. 

	[color=f7976a]"Thank you,"[/color] she said gratefully, though it was not hidden on her features that she would have much preferred a cup of tea over what she had just consumed. 

	[color=f7976a]"Considering you aren't branded or glowing, I think you and Uncle Regi are the only two that aren't damned in this enigma we are wrapped in like the Pharaohs,"[/color] Vera said to William as she looked down at the pendant in her fingers and felt the engraving that was now in the back of the gold. Perking a brow she unfastened it and pulled it from around her neck, laying it down on her desk carefully as she flipped it over so she could take note of what was there now that hadn't been for all these years that she had worn it. 

	Looking over towards Nora she gave her a small smile. [color=f7976a]"Thank you Lady Kingston, right good of you to understand and forgive my unladylike outburst,"[/color] she said in a grateful voice before sighing. [color=f7976a]"And I haven't the mind for flimflams or hokum, I am a lady of Science, and this scientifically has no reason,"[/color] she admitted as she picked up her glasses and placed them back on the tip of her nose. 

	[color=f7976a]"Quiet right. Even one such as myself would prefer a bobble to illuminating myself like a gourde on All Hallows Eve,"[/color] she added towards Josephine as she looked at the necklace. [color=f7976a]"I wouldn't believe so. At least not for you and most of the others Mr. Elvsgaard. Myself and Mr. Drake have been within tombs before, so if such things did exist, which I don't believe in them, we would be the targets. Yourself, Lady Kingston, Lord Keystone, and Miss Clark here; well I do not see you four traipsing around in the dirt and dust of a tomb,"[/color] Vera said as she took a closer look at the markings. 

	[color=f7976a]"Then again..."[/color] she added as she ran her fingers over the symbols and then pulled one of the books she had opened on her desk closer to her. [color=f7976a]"It's hieroglyphics. For Bastet...."[/color] she said as she rested the pendant back down on her desk and turned the book so the others could see. Looking up over the rim of her glasses she looked over towards William, the only other person who knew of such things - or at least that she knew of in the group. [color=f7976a]"But why brand some, send dreams to all, but I get this?"[/color] she pondered towards him and outloud to herself. 

	Taking a breath she pulled off her glasses and looked over towards Josephine. [color=f7976a]"All signs point to Bastet, perhaps we should go see the goddess herself..."[/color]

	Aziza unfastened the necklace quickly and tossed it onto the table. It did not burn like the light had when it was in her skin but when the light flashed from the piece of jewelry she didn't want it around her neck anymore. Looking over towards Lauren, her eyes wide with fear and befuddlement. [color=a187be]"I wish I knew,"[/color] she said as she shook out her hands and wrapped her arms around herself. 

	Looking over towards Henry she worried even more. [color=a187be]"Mr. Walsh, are you alright?"[/color] she asked nervously as she looked at his hand and his ring as the light died down. Sighing she looked at her necklace and noticed the new engraving on it, leaning closer to it she took a better look at it but refused to touch it. Aziza didn't know how to read hieroglyphics but she had lived in the nation most of her life and such symbols were everywhere even if only to draw in tourists in this day and age. 

	[color=a187be]"I don't know what this says but maybe the museum does? Maybe we shouldn't wait until tomorrow to go speak to them?"[/color] she said before rubbing the spot on her neck where the necklace had laid. Taking a deep breath she tried to calm her nerves and swallow the lump in her throat.
