Either it had all happened to fast for Mahendra to react properly, or it was futile for the energy drained Bengali to do anything about it. Regardless of what it was, Mahendra too got tangled up in the mess that was the table, Mosi and Nora, and the sludgy puke that was the cause of all this. Tumbling backwards and over the table alongside the ladies, Mahendra fell flat on his back (again for the third time in a span of less than 24 hours!), punching the air out of him. He wasn't sure if it was more disgusting, slapstick or shameful, but perhaps a combination of the three. 

At least the only thing that hit them were the clothes, and not the glass. 

[Color=007236]"Mosi...I should not say it, but this behaviour suits you not."[/color] Mahendra said once he got his breath back, gently pushing himself out of the pile and back on his feet. Before anything else silly could happen, he hurried as fast as his blood-depleted body could carry him to the restroom. He got changed and got back to the infirmary, feeling a little better now that he wasn't losing blood anymore. [Color=007236]"Okay, much better. Perhaps it is time we..."[/color] he started, catching himself as the world started spinning for a moment again, before continuing. [Color=007236]"...went back to the others?"[/color]

 Once Mahendra went ahead and pulled out of the body pile, Mosi promtly had done pretty much the same and went to get a shower and a change of clothes from the place the medic fellow informed her off. There was an annoying stop for a little while while someone decided to give her directions of what to do afterwers, but overall she didn't waste much time, out of the clothes, a quick wash, then into the new clothes which were plain and simply military standard ones. Just pants of some variety and a button down shirt. She tilted her head looking at her new self and still with wet hair, her previous clothes wrapped in a burlap made of her shirt, she walked out to promptly locate Mahendra.

 [color=c4df9b]"Hey, time to return to the hotel... apparently we are 'advised' to join whatever expedition they have in mind for a reason of I assume brands..."[/color] Mosi said to Mahendra and patted him on the shoulder.[color=c4df9b]" We should return to the hotel and grab our luggage and promtly return back here to the barracks."[/color] She explained what she got informed off just as she was about to enter the showers earlier.[color=c4df9b]" We are going on an ADVENTURE!"[/color] She finally said with quite the happy for whatever reason face and voice.[color=c4df9b]" Come on, let's go! The Adventure awaits for the moment, but it won't wait forever!"[/color]

[Color=007236]"Expedition? Adventure? Oh yes, that of course."[/color] Mahendra's recovering brain surmised from what Mosi told him as the two of them were finally clean and re-dressed. Regardless of Mosi's earlier cheerful comments on death, her current attiude towards what was surely an unforgettable adventure into the secrets of Ancient Egypt was welcomed. Mahendra himself was still concerned about the meaning of their brands - and in extension they very lives and death! -, but hopefully it would also answer certain questions. [Color=007236]"Just a moment...Yes, now let us go."[/color]

Mahendra accompanied Mosi to the best of his abilities out of the infirmary, out of the military barracs and on their way to the Shepheard's Hotel. [Color=007236]"I must have forgot it in all of the recent commotion, but may I ask what your profession is again? Was it something to do with the research of the occult?"[/color] Mahendra asked her as they walked, hoping whatever her field of study was could be useful in whatever they went out on.

The walk to the Shepheard's Hotel was going to take a little bit, but she was going to tell the reception to prepare a cab for them to ride on the way back to the barracks so it was all good, as far as Mosi was concerned actually.[color=c4df9b]" Well..."[/color] she started as Mahendra began inquiring on her field of expertise[color=c4df9b]." To be fair by education I'm a painter and a historian..."[/color] She admitted with a shrug.[color=c4df9b]" My field of education were focused on those two, but aside those, I'm a blacksmith of some skill and I do in fact have done studies into European and North American occultism. So I might not be the most useful person around, but I will make sure everything is well sketched for presentations later."[/color] Mosi explained as they walked. She really wanted to arrive as fast as possible, since time was short, walking there was going to be a bother so she stopped and hailed a taxi that was nearby.[color=c4df9b]" Let's catch a ride, walking there probably isn't the best idea given the time available and your health, pretty sure you should still be weak from the loss of blood."[/color] She smiled as she opened the door of the taxi for him to enter, before hopping in it herself.[color=c4df9b]" To the Shepheard's Hotel!" [/color]She exclaimed with great urgency as if this was a life or death matter!

Taking the taxi was a much better idea than the two of them simply walking, and as soon as Mahendra got to sit down on the soft(ish) seats and take a breather he felt better. Perhaps it was his stubborness or inclination to present himself the best way that made him walk first, but this was much better. [Color=007236]"Everyone has their use in work, a meaning in life. I'm certain you'll be most useful, dear Mosi."[/color] Mahendra said with a smile to Mosi, before changing his tune to more serious. [Color=007236]"But if I may be so bold, it might be wise not to joke about the dead..."[/color]

The pair soon arrived at the Shepheard's hotel and made their way to the reception. It had been a place of safe heaven for the Bengali in Cairo, and now they were to leave it behind. For how long, only the Gods knew, for better or for worse. [Color=007236]"No time to lose then. We'll meet here in the reception when we're done packing? I will do my outmost to not stall the time. See you very soon."[/color] Mahendra said politely to Mosi, leaving Mosi behind to order the cab while he made his way to his room. Hopefully it wouldn't take too long to gather up his belongings, but then it depended on what Mosi was bringing with her.

 Having been left by Mahendra, Mosi quickly told hte cab to stay since they will be in need of a ride in a little while again and quickly headed into the hotel, but instead of going directly to her room, she went to the reception. She told them she will be vacating the room now, quickly arranged anything htat had to be dealt with and made sure to leave a message for her redheaded friend in case she comes looking for her. Mosi told them to inform Rosheen that she's going on an expedition. She had the feeling this might not be the last time she was going to see the woman, but better inform her just in case.

 Afterwards she made a direct dash to her room. Well dash was a little bit of an overstatement since she was walking there because of the brand, but all in all she wasted no time in getting to her room, moving out of the military clothing and changing it with her spare clothing from one of her suitcases and threw out the dirty clothing form earlier in the trashbin. SHe wasn't going to be bothering to wash it anyways. Once she was done with it, she was about to head out of the room, but not before she reached over and grabbed the fabrics she bouth yesterday and put them into one of the suitcases. Only then she returned to the reception. All in all she hadn't unpacked her luggage when she moved in the room, so she didn't have much to pack. All in all she was done rather quick. Now all that was missing was for Mahendra to show up.

Okay, what to bring? Looking around the room, the Bengali geologist-brain was thinking out the most important things to bring along. But as he started listing things in his head, he realized he was travelling somewhat light, he simply started packing all his belongings into the one travel-bag and suitcase he owned. Clothes, books, geological tools, you name it. Everything were packed tight into their respective containers, even if it took a little longer than he expected. Nonetheless Mahendra had packed all he needed and soon made his way down the stairs. As fast or slow as he could, mind you, still being a little dizzy. 

[Color=007236]"Sorry for the delay, Mosi. But I'm ready now, after you."[/color] he said to Mosi as he re-entered the reception to see her standing there already ready. Alongside her and with a little help, the pair got their luggage in the awaiting cab and went on their way back to the army barracks. [Color=007236]"Like you said, Mosi; adventure awaits us."[/color]

[color=c4df9b] "Wasn't how I planned my visit here, but might as well go. When will I get the chance to take part of an expedition of sorts otherwise?"[/color] She snickered with pleased voice as they were riding along for back towards the Barracks.[color=c4df9b]" Granted I would have liked a day or two more to enjoy the sights... visit the clubs, see the ladies dance, but ohh well."[/color] She then sighed, this was the second thing she'd regret, but non the less she will go because dammit it seemed fun!

 With a car the journey from the hotel to the barracks was rather quick one all things considered. After a while she could already see the building in the not too far distance.[color=c4df9b]" You think we will be the first ones to return?"[/color] Mosi asked Mahendra with a smile. She wasn't sure on this point since they also spend some time getting ready before departing, but who knew. All in all they were almost done.

Mahendra shuffled uncomfortably in his seat at Mosi's indiciated of a visit to a certain dance, not sure how to respond to her suggestion that she fancied it. Luckily he didn't have to as she put forth another question, one which he was in a much better position to answer truthfully. Like a gentleman. [Color=007236]"That entirely depends on how much the Gods favour us."[/color] Mahendra chuckled on, before contiuing as the car eventually pulled up in front of the barracks. [Color=007236]"But more importantly, how much luggage the others brought. Let us see."[/color]

The pair exited the cab, got their luggage from the back of it and made their way towards the front gate guarded by the King's finest men of England. [Color=007236]"Excuse me, Sir, but we are expected inside by Lady Munn and Lord Major Keystone. We were allowed entrance earlier today, do you remember us?"[/color]
