She had only been briefly acquainted with Peter, but her mind still jumped to the elder gentleman at first. However, her mind soon corrected the mistake, only to learn indirectly that Peter and Vera had found a new level of intimacy together. Otherwise, she doubted Vera would have referred to him by his first name. It explained the flowers, though it also struck Nora as a bit odd. She did not expect that Vera would begin courting Peter so soon, especially after her emotional state the previous evening. But those thoughts, Nora decided, would be best if she kept them to herself. [color=00ccff]"I have been as well as is to be expected,"[/color] Nora replied to Lauren, nodding kindly. She was a quiet person by nature. Nora answered Neema's questions on her preference for tea (milk and sugar) and so forth. As Vera asked Nora what she had learned since they last spoke, Nora thought for a moment, attempting to find a way to communicate it all as concise as she could possibly be. And of course, a way that would cause Vera to not dismiss this information straight away, since it sounded rather strange. It was not information most people of science and mathematics would readily accept. [color=00ccff]"As you surmised the previous evening, Lady Munn, the branding received by some of our number is the mark of Bastet. Neema has informed me that it signifies selection as a guardian for the goddess. Additionally, some elements of Egyptian astrology do appear to make accurate predictions of the persons in our fellowship, with some information gleaned from a dream that I had whilst I slept the previous evening. The most bizarre occurrence is the recitation of a prayer to Bastet that...that I have done, in a language that I do not comprehend without the aid of mathematics and hours of careful examination, with the assistance of reference texts and other experts."[/color]
