She had faith in her calculations and her analysis. He then once again brought up the idea that she could have been onto something, but to be careful. Her thoughts flickered back to Josephine briefly and the advice she had given her. Would Mahendra have been saying the same sort of things to her now if she were a man? Why caution her? She wasn't the one who had jumped into the void. She was being careful and methodical as she always was. It irritated her slightly. Less than a week ago, she would have resigned this as just being a part of the world, another reason to retreat and to not put herself out there. Now, her eyes flickered towards Mahendra and she returned to what she was doing, filled with determination instead of reluctance. 

	Gene didn't really see anything in the void, but the echoes on her voice seemed premature. [color=#9370DB]"Maybe there's a bunch of birds down there,"[/color] she mused, though she doubted anyone else would get her thought process there. [color=#9370DB]"Are you afraid of birds?"[/color] she asked Lauren, peering up at her. She recalled the way the fog had risen up and she was confident that Belladonna was fine, even though she hadn't been able to hear her. It would take more than a little fall to kill her - though the same probably couldn't be said for the Lord Major. He seemed exceptionally fragile and dumb. His laughter was a bit grating. [color=#9370DB]"You are welcome, Old Man,"[/color] she responded. 

	The group's mathematician was examining the circular tile, pressing slightly tiles 17 and 28. As the numbers moved, there was another click that reminded her of the one from before and she braced herself for a plunge into the void. The shaking of the wall didn't help her nerves and even Gene looked a bit nervous, given that there wasn't really anything around to hold onto if they were about to fall to their doom. Maybe they'd all get lucky and get caught from their underwear? Nora's shoulders relaxed, the tension vanishing from them as the wall lifted upwards, revealing a hallway that they could continue to venture down. [color=00ccff]"Thank you,"[/color] she said, accepting Mahendra's praise this time. [color=00ccff]"As for these markings... I imagine they will. Whether it be fate or just coincidence... Wherever this group travels, there seems to be a connection to the larger puzzle."[/color]

	Gene's eyes lit up with excitement as the wall came down. Now [i]THIS[/i] was a vacation! This was what she had come here for! A secret puzzle that could be solved by this Lady Kingston, followed up with a wall moving and bringing them closer to the unknown? It was positively tantalizing. Gene adored not knowing what came next. So many people back home would pester her to see what was ahead, but it sometimes could take away a bit of the fun, always knowing what was going to happen. She adored the mystery and the allure of the unknown.

[hider=Roll Request - Nora]Character current location: Athribis, Underground
Characters attempted actions: Nora is examining the new markings Mahendra pointed out to her
Any and all skills being used: Pattern Analysis, Cryptography, Mathematics, Decipher hieroglyphics, Acute Observation
Why each skill is being called: Pattern Analysis - to see if these fall into a pre-established pattern or to detect a new one. Cryptography - cypher patterns and the like, drawing on these. Mathematics - seeing if there are more numbers to find. Decipher hieroglyphics - in order to read these/understand them. Acute Observation - essentially perception.
