And the timing is perfect, the museum is just now closing to the public for the day but the administrators will still be present."

"It sounds like a sound plan to me, although I might have liked to see just how Meren's group left their mansion.

You're going to need some sleep before we go back to Egypt. Any ideas on how to manage that? It's not as if a dirigible randomly parked outside a Paris hotel would go unnoticed."

He says, "I actually know a place around twenty miles east of here where it would be safe. We'll let these French see us sail off to the south and I'll then detour to that location. I have one of Dr. Jeckyl's elixirs that will require me to only sleep for an hour or so for a full-night's rest. I can do that during our ride back into the city."

Lt. Col Hassan is once again requested to accompany Neferka and pledges to her personal safety. Sabah too says that she will accompany her to Zakazik. Barrister Sefu says that he has much to organize in Cairo, but expects to be able to join the Queen in two days time.

The magical carpet is quickly retrieved and set up on the rooftop balcony of the temple. Neferka, Sabah, Hassan, Ruby, George and Lawrence step onto the carpet.

OOC: Not sure about any other NPC's at this point, as only Steve has weighed in during the last month.

"I could have used that potion over the last couple days. I can't say I regret getting to actually sleep for hours, though. And since I have no idea how to fly this thing, I'm glad you have it.

Miss West will be disappointed when we get back so quickly. I don't think she heard anything but Go To Paris."

He says, "It is not on my person, it is at our destination east of Paris, so I would not have had it to provide to you. As for flying this, I will teach you on our way back to Egypt."

Miss West will be disappointed when we get back so quickly. I don't think she heard anything but Go To Paris."

Still keeping his voice down to not be overheard by the other passengers he says, "I never said we will get back quickly. I do not believe that Queen Neferka needed the airship back immediately, just that she wanted it back. I can telegraph her when we're back in the city to let her know of our delay. And as for Miss West, I will be showing and telling you of some things that are for your eyes only, not hers."

"Well, well. I'm not sure if that's a promise or a threat. I suspect a bit of both. I'll look forward to it anyway," she answered, just as quietly. "I should go spend a few moments with my spell book. There's no reason to think we're in any danger at this point, but it doesn't hurt to make sure I'm prepared."

He says, "Good idea. We will be secured on the ground in around fifteen minutes. It might not be a bad idea for you to remind our guests that you are also a wizardess. Just don't let them see any spells inside your book, we're best to have them guessing that you may be more powerful than you are."

"I'll take a little extra time about it. It is quite rude to peek in another's spellbook, but I'll get my back to the wall anyway."

Abby moved back over to where she had slept and sat down leaning against the wall. Although her power wasn't great, it was still comforting to add her few spells back to her bag of tricks after being without them.

Abby stays in concentration as the dirigible descends and the passengers then disembark. Meren accompanies the seven French to the museum entrance and they are soon admitted inside.

Callum wastes no time in quickly ascending and putting the city of Paris behind then as they make their way southward at the airship's maximum speed. Once the city lights are receded into the distance he makes a sharp left turn and they proceed in a northeasterly direction.

She took what felt like her first, real, free, deep breath in days. No foreign dignitaries, no strangers, no associates who she now trusted but still didn't know.

"I think I've forgotten what it felt like to be relaxed," she said lightly.
