AGELESS CAMPAIGN, Episode II, Part VI.

Ruby hooked her arm through George's as they strolled into the dining room.
She nodded at the ogre. "Good evening Mengesha. I hope all is well, with you and with the Queen?"
He nods and says, "Indeed it is Miss West, Mr. Eastman. I greatly thank the both of you for all that you have done today to help keep the Queen safe. I would have been with her at all times if she had not ordered me elsewhere."

He nods and says, "Indeed it is Miss West, Mr. Eastman. I greatly thank the both of you for all that you have done today to help keep the Queen safe. I would have been with her at all times if she had not ordered me elsewhere."

"Of course, I am certain no one blames you for being away. We know you would give your life for the Queen."

Ruby glanced back over the room. "So what is going on? I thought there would be a big dinner here tonight."
 

He smiles and says, "As if either of us need alcohol for that. But once this meal is finished we do have a piece of business to take care of, a telegram to Queen Neferka letting her know that we will be dealyed for a few days."

"What do you plan to tell her? Minor repairs seems like the obvious choice.

You plan for us to be here several days?"

OOC: Sorry if this is a double post, I'm posting from my tablet, and I'm not seeing my original post.
 

"Of course, I am certain no one blames you for being away. We know you would give your life for the Queen. Ruby glanced back over the room. "So what is going on? I thought there would be a big dinner here tonight."
"Actually no, there will just be the four of you."
 

"What do you plan to tell her? Minor repairs seems like the obvious choice. You plan for us to be here several days?"
He says, "Now here is where it gets interesting. We need to keep the message cryptic enough for Neferka to understand, but vague enough that if it falls into the hands of the French Ruling Council or the Weekly Wizards they will not understand it. We could leave tomorrow, but I would prefer to go on either Friday or Saturday to give my staff time to fully examine the dirigible, especially the levitation devices on the gondola."

He replies, "Her sister Amisi."

"Oh, yes, well, thank you." She smiled at the ogre before sweeping into the room.

" I am starving, I hope the Queen comes soon. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until just now. Luckily the food here is very good."
 

"" I am starving, I hope the Queen comes soon. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until just now. Luckily the food here is very good."
They do not have to wait long for the two young ladies to arrive. They come with a full compliment of servants, although most are left at the doorway. Ruby and George rise as they see the Queen and her sister.

The women enter and Neferka says for them all to sit. They are no sooner seated with the wiaters come forward with the first course of what appears to be a multi-course meal. Their glasses are also filled, with four before each person. One is filled with water, another with wine, a third with fruit juice and the fourth with whiskey. The waiters then all depart, giving privacy to the quartet.
 

"Welcome and our thanks for the invitation your highnesses" says George as they sit. "Amazing what this place can put together when there is a royal decree" adds George with a grin. "I know I, and i suspect Ruby, haven't had a decent meal in quite some time."
