The man with his girl doesn't seem to react anyway to your conversation and continous to whisper with the girl. The lady in red however does seem to be interested of your conversation but from this close you can see that she is actually keeping her eyes on the big brooding man at the counter and especially Eddie as he seems to approach the man. But when Eddie walks past him to the counter she seems to relax a bit and continue to listen to you halfheartedly. The italian fellow leans a bit towards you as you start talking about diamond-mines, and if possible looks even a bit more nervous than he already was.Eventhough the bald guy and his moll don't seem to pay any attention to you, Elizabeth suddenly feels interest towards their whispered conversation as she overhears few words. It is not the words themself that takes her ears though, they are standard seduction-lines: "You'll be forever mine... I'll show you a world of wonders... etc, etc." but the language in which they are spoken. He uses the same language that Elizabeth spoke with his father few nights before. Ancient Egyptian, a language which, as far as she knew, was only known to the ancient divine family-lines like her mother's. And this man spoke it with the proficiency of someone born to speak it, just like Elizabeth herself.At the counter the reporter looks Eddie for a while with a puzzled look and then comes over to him. "Eddie Wallace right? I'd recognise you anywhere. You almost got Pulitzer for that story about the, the, what was it, something about the military financing a dig in Giza. Anyways, you were the reason I wanted to become a reporter. Oh, yeah, I'm Jimmy Smith, I don't suppose you've heard of me yet. Gotten only couple of stories published yet..." He goes on for a while, telling how much he admires you etc.[sblock=OOC]Okay, here's a quick map of the bar so you can get a more clear picture of where everyone are.1. The table where Lotka, Liz and John plays poker.2. The bald man and his red-haired doll.3. The lady in red.4. The young couple.5. The big brooding man.6. The man who pretends to be drinking but actually surveys the bar.7. The reporter.8. The bartender.9. Eddie.10. The italian fellow.[/sblock]</blockquote>
