Aster changes into loose cotton pants and a crop top, finally free of the hieroglyphs, and pulls her jacket on. She checks on her wand and khepeshes in the duat, and heads downstairs. 
“[color=A47E95]I’m ready to go, Sadie. St. Petersburg, please.[/color]”
“[color=CD5C5C]Take care of yourself, dear![/color]” Sadie teases, opening the portal. 
Aster fake-swoons. “[color=A47E95]What would I do without you?[/color]”
Sadie giggles, and Aster ducks backwards into the portal. 

St. Petersburg, Russia, is the 18[sup]th[/sup] nome. She's been here a few times before, and it's quite peaceful without all the Apophis-sympathizers. She waves at a guard, who salutes her, and makes her way to the guest wing. She finds a shabti folding sheets.
"[color=A47E95]I'm going to need at least two rooms reserved. Please get them ready.[/color]"
It hurries off to do so. Aster heads to the main hall and greets Leonid, telling him of her current quest. He gives her permission to stay as long as needed. She relaxes in the library and looks over some of the scrolls there, waiting for news of the boy's arrival.
