It was for the best for a few reasons, the safety of all parties at the top of said list. Recent events had proven that unnatural fate spared neither the nefarious nor the merely curious. Besides, if more blood was needed to secure the success of their adventure, it could come from Reginald. It seemed that, no sooner had he mentally checked off the lack of people following them, that Mahendra came to him with he observations. [color=b8860b]"Indeed?"[/color] He mulled over the new information. [color=b8860b]"Oh no, please do speak boldly, Mr. Zalil. Fortune favors the brave, and whatnot. Lord knows it has been painfully favorable to me... hmm..."[/color] Reginald appeared lost in thought for a second or two before returning to the present. [color=b8860b]"Given the improbable yet undeniable truths of our situation, dear boy, educated suspicions bear credibility. And if I am to recall, you are lettered in related pursuits? This should be related to our guide, I believe."[/color] Reginald looked to Bella, who had chosen that moment to ask him for formal escort. [color=b8860b]"Upon my honor as a gentleman, madame!"[/color] he exclaimed, swooping off his cap and taking her arm. The moment he replaced his cap upon his silvery pate, a random goat began to cause havoc. The Lord Major had a pithy comment awaiting it's moment; sadly it was not to be as Bella identified that as the grand diversion for which they had waited. [color=b8860b]"Yes, well... with a mad goat about, I shall certainly escort you until your man [i]J.C.[/i] returns. Let us be off, then."[/color] With the horned, livestocky terror behind them distracting the locals as only a berserk farm animal could, Reginald did as asked and accompanied their sultry guide away to parts roped off and forbidden to the general populace. [color=b8860b]"Ah, Miss Ridgeway and Mr. Zalil both make compelling points,"[/color] he commented, still making tracks onward, [color=b8860b]"What shall we look for first, and might it have anything to do with those untended areas?"[/color] He kept his speaking points brief as they escaped the area - partly for stealth and partly because he wasn't the young man he once was. Conservation of energy, and the like. [hr][hr][center][h1][i][b][color=bdb76b]Haring Reddish[/color][/b][/i][/h1] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/24fe7d4c-5254-4d92-90af-91f672d8843d.gif[/img][/center] [hr][center][color=darkkhaki][b]Location:[/b][/color] Benha (Boat, Infirmary) [color=bdb76b][b]Skills:[/b][/color] Investigation/Espionage [/center][hr][hr] Today had already shaped up to be an interesting and potentially noteworthy day. Reddish was certain that his portion in the mission at hand had reached its zenith the previous evening, but [i]no[/i], the hits just kept on coming. The bare moment that he figured this would be like any other assignment, escort, or information gathering expedition, something else happened that altered his perception of things in general. Not that the good Corporal needed a reason to have his perception altered from societal norms, seeing as he appeared to live in a constant state of ...whatever it was that afflicted him. Case in point. While Reddish was using the opportunity of Josephine's injury to nose about and take in detail in hopes of furthering their investigation, he happened across a piece of highly pertinent information. It came in the form of paperwork inside of the Infirmary, as apparently the corridors and decks were mostly clear of personnel or clues at that time. But to point, the Corporal's inquisitive nature revealed to him the top section of a piece of paperwork - notes on another, very recent patient. He was just in the onset of committing the details to memory for later use when he heard a sound like a sack of hams collapsing onto the floor. Wide-eyed and potentially alarmed, Reddish turned around to see the ship's physician prone and unconscious. He then got the most devious expression. Reaching back, he snatched up the paperwork and gave it a more thorough read, speaking to Josephine about his find. [color=bdb76b]"Bloody fortuitous, this is. Miss Clarke, your [i]antics[/i], as you phrased them, just got us [i]SWEET MERCIFUL BANGERS 'N' BLOODY MASH YOU'RE A WITCH[/i] one brilliant pip of a lead."[/color] Reddish had apparently just noticed Josephine's minor miracle and processed it within the span of his sentence. [color=bdb76b]"We should be off smartly, before this bloke comes to, Miss Clarke."[/color] Reddish carefully replaced the paper and cracked open the door to the infirmary. He peered out, gauging the best opportunity for moving with stealth and/or nonchalance. [color=bdb76b]"Right then. Miss Clarke - I've a mind to [i]speak[/i] with that man. Perhaps you might be as kind as to join?"[/color] Just before setting out, the Corporal asked with some humor in his tone, [color=bdb76b]"Care to borrow a weapon [i]just in case[/i], Miss Clarke? Or would you prefer to use your witchy-powers on possible opposition?"[/color] The tiniest of chortles later, Reddish made his move. If caught, he could always use the excuse that he was going for help for the doctor.
