Would she be able to learn such an intricate and difficult language? She doubted that she could do it in a few sessions of study. It was a skill Nora was certain would take her years to acquire, years of rigorous study and inquiry. The confidence displayed on Neema's part was surprising as well. While Nora had studied mathematics and could detect patterns with the aid of references, she felt that languages were an entirely different skill in order to understand them without reference. They required memorization and constant repetition. [color=#00ccff]"Forgive me, I appear to have been lost in thought for a moment,"[/color] Nora finally said. It wasn't entirely unusual for her to become intently focused on her own thinking and temporarily forget her surroundings. Nodding at Neema, she then motioned for her and Lauren to follow her, as she headed over towards where the tiles were kept. Nora was hesitant to touch the tiles directly without gloves, instead figuring that for now, they should be fine to remain on the table. She didn't want to ruin a priceless artifact, especially one of this importance. [color=#00ccff]"These are the tiles that Lady Munn examined the previous evening. I had begun to detect a cryptographic element in them that appeared to be the marking of a cipher, yet I was not able to make much progress beyond that,"[/color] Nora said softly. She imagined that Vera and William would be exchanging words and that having her voice carry over to them may not be the best course of action.
