Her head tilted to the side somewhat as her fingers ran over the mosaics that the tiles created. She hadn't noticed it before but she was no mathematician either. Pulling up her chair she seated herself down and began to look more closely at the titles compared to the rubbings. The markings on the tiles were obviously added with some intent but Vera was not sure what that was, yet. [color=f7976a]"Intriguing,"[/color] she whispered as her curls fell over her brow while she leaned over more to get a closer look. [color=f7976a]"I can translate them but I don't think that will add us until we know what all the points are. With the missing pieces, whatever is being said here is incomplete and which the ancient Egyptians a single missing hieroglyphic could mean the difference of black and white."[/color] Looking up she glanced towards William before looking away quickly and back over towards Nora. [color=f7976a]"If we had not already decided to make the trek to the dig site it would have been made for us because of this discovery. We need the missing tiles."[/color] Standing up she gave Nora a soft smile and an approving nod. [color=f7976a]"Your contribution has been invaluable thus far and I am sure it will be even more so come the days ahead. I think that is all we will be able to decipher this evening, perhaps it would be best if we all got some much needed rest. Would you meet me on the morrow after noon here? We can speak more on this as I try to procure us the rights and papers to enter the dig site,"[/color] she asked of Nora before taking a breath and scribbling down on a piece of a paper and thrusting it over towards William without looking at him. [color=f7976a]"This is where you can find Lord Major Keystone, my uncle will be needing a list from you on dig supplies for the trek."[/color] She waited for him to take the paper before retracting her hand and sitting back down. [color=f7976a]I will finish up here and then retire, I suggest you two do the same, it will be a long road ahead of us, if you should need anything Lady Kingston, you can reach me here or,"[/color] she said jotting down her residence on another piece of paper and handing it gently to Nora. [color=f7976a]"at this address."[/color] [hr][center][IMG]http://fontmeme.com/freefonts/img.php?f=1479&s=100&t=Aziza%20Tarek&c=a187be[/IMG] [img]http://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/1b617e2b-de2e-4952-bd44-410f7b633b8c.jpg[/img][hr][b][i][color=a187be]Location: [/color]Qasr El Nil Barracks Officers Club[/i][/b][/center][hr] [color=a187be]"Very well then, we should retire. Thank you for the offer Lord Major but we are just a few grains of sand from here at the Grand Continental for the evening. I believe the walk would do us both some good,"[/color] Aziza said gratefully before reaching into her purse and pulling out a key. [color=a187be]"Here, I can retrieve another at the front desk,"[/color] she added as she handed the key over towards Lauren. [color=82ca9d]"Very well the, safe travels for the evening and I hope to see you both again soon. Uncle, once Miss Ridgeway is ready to retire for the evening I should like to take you up on the offer of the conveyance. I can escort her to the hotel and then return,"[/color] Peter said before bidding both Aziza and Harry good evening as they exited the officers club. Aziza gave them all a smile and Lauren a quick embrace before taking Harry's arm and waltzing out the door. Once they had exited the barracks proper and were out on the streets of Cairo she let out a soft breath and rested her head on his shoulder. [color=a187be]"I did wish that you would stay with both Lauren and myself this evening but if you wish to retire back to your residence after you escort me to the hotel I will not ask for you to stay. Whichever you are most comfortable with though please know you are most welcome. The suite is large enough for all of us while maintaining privacy."[/color] Peter smiled as the two left and then looked over towards Lauren. [color=82ca9d]"Well my dear, have you chosen to stay because you truly enjoy the company of two war veterans or did you wish to give the couple a moment to themselves?"[/color] he asked with a cheeky grin curling at the side of mouth before raising his glass to her and then taking a long sip. [color=82ca9d]"To the fellowship of the Ring,"[/color] he chuckled.
