[She gives a small shrug.]

I just like doing my job. I try not to think of it as more than that.

[byyourleave]

Yes, well one person's job makes them a hero to another. Even a man at McDonald's giving food to a hungry child can be a hero.

[killmypatience]

I know that. But to me there's a difference between a hero and a superhero. I just want to do good work as me. Not with some alter ego.

[byyourleave]

And no spandex. I understand.

[though she would look amazing in that spandex. Just saying.]

[killmypatience]

[Oh, she totally would. But spandex is only for special occasions.]

Sorry to disappoint.

[byyourleave]

[and with that, he will finish his drink]

So back to my room now, yes?

[killmypatience]

Yes. For that information.

[And not for other stuff. Just as a reminder. (For both of them.)]

[byyourleave]

Yes, the information. [boo.] This way.

[and he will lead her to his room, that was in the area that had been rebuilt. His single room was very Egyptian and while it was dark, the light gave it a softness that enticed you in. Some incense were burning on a tray on his dresser, bringing in the smells of home into his room]

Come on in.

[killmypatience]

[She glances around a bit as she does, before moving inside and turning back to face him.]

Nice room.

[byyourleave]

Thank you. I believe they wanted me to feel as if I was at home here. And while I don't remember home being like this in my life... it is still soothing in a way.

[killmypatience]

[She nods in agreement.]

Mine is still being rebuilt. Thanks to Sarandis and all.

[byyourleave]

Are you at least in accommodations that are comfortable?

[killmypatience]

[She nods.]

I've been sharing with Abbie. It's a little tight, but we're managing. It's only for a little while.

[byyourleave]

Well, if you ever need a night away, you are welcome to the bed. I'm still getting used to the comfort and prefer my couch some nights.

[killmypatience]

[She nods in agreement.]

I'll keep that in mind. But right now, I need to see that stuff you said you had?

[byyourleave]

Yes, of course.

[he went to sit on his bed, and then reached behind the table to pull up a manilla envelope. It wasn't a lot, but he opened the envelope and pulled a thin scrapbook. He stood back up, moving towards her as he opened the cover]

This is an article from Cairo's library about the children being kidnapped for the militia. [he pointed at the picture, his finger pointing to a little five year old boy being dragged towards a truck by a man with an assault rifle]

That was the last time I saw my home until I was in my twenties.

[killmypatience]

[Her face softens as she goes to sit next to him, trying to get a better look at that picture.]

I'm sorry.

[She picks up he article and leans closer.]

Do you know who took the photo?

[byyourleave]

No. I went to the paper to ask but neither the photo taker or the writer was still there.

[killmypatience]

[She taps her fingers against her chin for a moment.]

But that doesn't mean we won't be able to find something. If I have some time, I'll try and dig in, see what I can find. What's the paper's name?

[byyourleave]

It is the Egyptian Gazette.

[yes, the paper's title is right there at the bottom of the page. It's actually the Egyptian Mail and it's in english.]

[killmypatience]

[Oh, yep, there it is. Whoops. She nods in acknowledgement, before reaching for her phone and taking a picture of the entirety of the page.]

I'll look into it. See what I can find.

[byyourleave]

Thank you.

[and he will fold the paper back and put it into the newspaper clippings - very few.]

[killmypatience]

[She takes out her phone and makes whatever notes she can to remember for later, when she's more sober than she is right now.]

Anyway. I think I should call it a night. But if I find anything, I will let you know.

[byyourleave]

Yes, thank you. [and he will walk her back to the door, leaning in it sexily, out of habit more than trying to seduce her. Mostly.]

Sleep well, Kate.

[killmypatience]

[She smiles in return, before heading down the hall.]

You too.

[And off she goes. /scene]
