She would bump into people but she wasn't really paying attention. Granted, everyone was bumping into everyone right then. Those boarding, those disembarking, people milling about as they waited for the ship to raise anchor and pull out on the tide. The docks were just as busy if not more so as there were more ships in harbor, each with their own destination and time table they had to follow. Looking over at Nora she smiled as she continued to speak. [color=f7976a]"Now this you might find fascinating, I know I do. Some historians attribute Bastet as Horus twin. I believe this is just a mistranslation. Not on purpose mind you but one sometimes wishes to see what one wants instead of what is true. I am hoping that once we reach Bubatis I can find the original hieroglyphics. Now you might be asking yourself why this is important. Well, I will tell you. You see, many want to tie in ancient religions. They try to link Bastet with Artemis and there for she must have a twin, so let us slap that onto Horus. Preposterous! Bastet is the child of Ra. Singular, with no other parental lineage. At most they could tie her to Zeus as Athena due to her birth legend. Everyone knows that Horus is the child of Isis and Osiris and that his sibling was Anubis. Now, how they tied Horus and Set together to give us Thoth is beyond me, I would need to see the original tiles. I mean there is enough evidence that Set killed his nephew, not consorted with him."[/color] It seemed that Vera was on a bit of a diatribe when it came to Egyptian History of the Ancient world but there it was and she kept talking, even if no one was listening as she stepped onto the main deck of the boat and over to a seat. Motioning to the table before her. There were several open as most were either trying to get to their rooms or to the railings to watch the boat push off and wave to people they had never met. Vera had not time for this. [color=f7976a]"Granted, this is all hokum of course but it is very fascinating to see how these beliefs molded and structured the old and new kingdom."[/color] [hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=598527]George Benaszewski[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcegspLyZW1qbykh3o1_500.gif[/img][hr][b][color=598527]Location:[/color][/b] Docks - The Ferry (Boarding) [b][color=598527]Skills:[/color][/b] Observation[hr][/center] George rose a brow at Gene. [color=598527]"Sister... no..mmm. Sorry, just surprised,"[/color] he said before finally leaning down and giving the woman a hug. He was very surprised to see her. They had not spoken in sometime. Not too terribly long in the grand scheme of things but he was not expecting to see her pop up in Cairo, that was to say the least. Last he had heard she was at home and dealing with a lot of people that made her want to pull her hair out. Releasing her he replayed what she had said in his mind and his brow furrowed. That couldn't be good. [color=598527]"Mmm, okay. I have to help with somethings first. Um, you have a ticket?"[/color] he asked even though she had already answered that question before it was even asked. Of course she did, her getting a ticket was like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Gene had a knack for getting a hold of exactly what she needed right when she needed it. [color=598527]"I..am..um, helping take over for a friend. Um,mmm,"[/color] he said before turning to the Lord Major. [color=598527]"Mmm, Lord Major, this is my sister Gene,"[/color] he said introducing the two. [color=598527]"Mmm, sis this is Lord Major Reginald Keystone. He is Peter's uncle, the one I told you about from the war,"[/color] he said solemnly. He had spoken about Peter when he returned but she wouldn't know that Peter had passed just yet. He hadn't mailed a letter off this week telling her of what was going on yet. He figured he would ask her how she found him later. Not in mixed company. It wasn't the time. [color=598527]"We mmm should board,"[/color] he said before looking around. He had lost sight of Vera and quickly pressed his way up the gangplank only to find her at the main deck sitting at a table rambling on like she did. There was a hint of a smile on his lips as he started towards the table.
