On being homeless. (Canon is the Amelia Peabody series!)

[lightofegypt]

Mun dearest, whatever do you think you're doing? I think it's quite nice that you've decided to let me out into this whole new world of discovery, but that you don't really have a second step to this is quite careless!

What would Aunt Amelia say? I think even she would be quite bothered by your lack of any further planning. And that's really saying something!

Yes, I do wish Ramses was around. Even the Professor. We both know they're not going to be...here, though, so we might as well make the most of it. I don't suppose you know of any archaeological digs I can help out with, or perhaps a hospital for women, or perhaps even a school...?

I am a doctor, you know.

[masr]

Ramses?

[lightofegypt]

Why yes! Do you know him? I am not surprised, seeing as he is known the way his whole family is.

[masr]

Have known several.

[lightofegypt]

Several? I'm afraid you must be mistaken; there's only one Ramses Emerson in the world.

[masr]

Mine were older.

[lightofegypt]

Oh I'm so sorry, I've forgotten my manners!

I'm Nefret. Nefret Forth.

[masr]

Maṣr. You are from my lands?

[lightofegypt]

Well, technically I'm from London, but I've spent so much time with Aunt Amelia and the rest of the family on digs and tours of Egypt that I feel so much like I belong there as a citizen myself.

I...they call me Nur Misur.

[masr]

.. Ah. I.. belonged to England for a short time.

[ head-tilt. ] Oh?

[lightofegypt]

Ah, being in England is always fun, but I always feel so much more alive in Egypt.

[evy]

Well, I wouldn't say that, exactly. This place is... quite full of surprises! You may find a friend of yours yet.

[And she was kind of... listening in on that other conversation and got a little excited.]

Pardon me, I don't mean to intrude, but-- you go on expeditions in Egypt?

[lightofegypt]

Oh, that would be wonderful.

[Nefret lights up at the lady's question.]

Yes! I travel with the Emersons; they've become my family, to an extent. Have you heard of them, by any chace?

We go on digs of tombs and the such.
