[b][color=#9370DB]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][/center]	Gene was still smirking from time to time as breakfast ended, thinking back to the quip her brother had made. There were so many levels of irony to that joke and it was a shame that the others were clueless to it. One day - hopefully not too soon - it was possible that some of them would understand. She didn't know what the Lord Major had been talking about with the Captain before they got there, but she nodded at his offer to just ring the steward if Vera needed anything. She had to hold back a quip that she was pretty certain her brother was going to be fulfilling that duty until Vera's cold passed. However, her interest was piqued as he mentioned the bazar in Benha. 

	She always made people retrieve a token or something for her when they went off on travels without her. She considered briefly if she ought to extent the favor and get things for the people back home. Maybe if anything struck her fancy, she would. But if not, she hardly owed them anything. Things were tense at best and presents might give the wrong impression. Ensuring that she had her things, Gene then got up and had a bit of a skip in her step as she got off of the ship with the others. It was a contrasting image to Nora, who was more calm and collected, while Gene was a bit of a bouncing ball of energy. 

	[color=00ccff]"If you would not mind, Lauren, I would be glad to accompany you,"[/color] Nora said quietly. It was her obnoxiously British way of saying ~please don't leave me alone~ without actually saying that. Emotions had to be held back in speech, her mother and father had always been very clear on that growing up. She knew that she was supposed to be trying to emulate Josephine - to live life to the fullest a bit more - but it was difficult to just change one's entire world view over night. Still, however, Nora was determined to try to engage a bit more with the world and have more self confidence. 

	She then nodded a bit at the Lord Major's suggestion of meeting up again later around lunch - however she also still did not wish to journey alone. She was in a strange place she had not yet been before, with no notion of what danger could lurk around any corner. Even if they had not been in this mysterious Fellowship business, she was a woman. It would be safer to travel with Lauren. And besides, the last time she had walked alone in a city had resulted in her being branded along the Nile river. 

	[color=#9370DB]"So!"[/color] Gene looked at the people gathered there. [color=#9370DB]"Who wants the honor of getting to go around with me?"[/color] she asked. Nora sighed slightly. George's sister really was a bit much.
