Both accept them gladly. Hardin downs his in one shot and hands the glass back to George adding, "Thats, our little adventure built up quite a thirst, although I did manage to get a quick refreshment when our battle ventured into the wine cellar."George pours two more brandies and brings them over to Manual and John. "Here, looks like you needs these."
Gonzales walks over to Neferka and kneals down. "Your Royal Majesty, Pharoah Neferka of Egypt. I am but a humble servant who has undertaken a task on your behalf. We were successful in our quest." He removes from his satchel an elaborate gold box, approximately six-inches square, with rubies and emeralds encrusted onto the design.Ruby's eyes went wide then she laughed. "I know you and they wouldn't be here if you didn't think it was necessary. If everyone is alright, then carry on."
Neferka smiles and says, "This box contains the French wizard's most precious artifact, the very jewelry which grants them long life." Gonzales says, "It occurred to me that with four-dozen of their team here in Egypt, that only left four low-level members back at the manor house in France with the item."Ruby steps up next to Gonzales. "I don't know what that is but it looks important. Your Majesty, this is my teacher and friend and he can be trusted."

I mean... so what will you do with it? Use it to threaten them or actually, use it use it. However that works."
