"That sound just terrifying, a gem such as yourself shouldn't be exposed to such things in this world. Is there anything I can fetch for you or would you prefer that I remain here with you?" Vera looked around, slowly moving over to the table where she had left the tiles. Her eyes narrowing slightly. Why had she not locked them up? Then again, why would she have thought about locking them up? This was the museum, this was supposed to be a safe haven for artifacts. At least she wished it was that way but it obviously was not. [color=f7976a]"This is a travesty,"[/color] she said as she slowly sat down on the edge of the chair and pushed her curls out of her face. Between the news that the tiles were gone and that Haakon was killed she wasn't sure what to think on the matter. Was this expedition really a good idea or was this all just happenstance. The prospect of murder struck her as odd. Why would anyone want to kill Haakon. Maybe his death was just an accident, maybe he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hell, maybe he was killed because of an article he had written. She wasn't counting anything out at this point. Looking over at the Lord Major she quirked a brow. [color=f7976a]"I am not sure. He and George left us at the permit office so we could tend to the business at hand and shuffled off to places unknown. It seemed as if he was trying to get George out of the public eye. We were not able to locate them on our return yet Lady Kingston did propose that they could have taken the road less traveled on their return for Georges sake. I do believe that they should return in short time."[/color]
