"Ah!"
"Ah!"

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 4:46 pm"Yes yes, I know. Get out of my way or I strangle you." she rolls her eyes, already sick of her new reputation (even if it's entirely her fault)

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 4:47 pm"Str...oh, haha, no, no, not at all," he laughed, merrily. "Just wasn't expecting you to be standing there."

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 4:54 pm"Is THAT what summons you? I'll be sure to write that down," he smiled.
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 4:57 pm"Have we met?"
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:00 pm"We just did. Roland. Roland Sackville," he said, extending a hand.

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:09 pm"A joke, professor, a mere trifle. An old line, well dusty and sealed away by now, I am sure."
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:15 pm"Not everything old and dusty likes to stay that way."
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:23 pm"Everything becomes old and dusty in it's time, while we're speaking in riddles," he said, flashing a smile.
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:25 pm"It's what you expected, no?"
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:29 pm"'Expected' is a bit strong, but very little surprises me anymore."
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:35 pm"Yes, I thought that once too. Of course you look more on past experiences, don't you?"

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:44 pm"Old and dusty indeed, though you hide it well." she smirks.
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:54 pm"Bathing. I'll admit, I was doubtful, but it seems to have helped," he grinned.

Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:07 pm"This century has been loud and flashy," he said, straightening his 'Mod' attire. "Fashions are more or less spiralish, if not circular. I can wait."

Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:24 pm"Oh, surely it hasn't been THAT long."
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:26 pm"You're the ancient one. You tell me."
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:27 pm"Oooh!" he said, staggering backwards as if he had been shot. "A sting! A veritable hit."
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:30 pm"You see what I'm wearing and you think that was an insult?"
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:35 pm"I DO see what you're wearing. Very breezy. Interesting for Londinium this time of year."

Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:47 pm"Okay, enough of that."
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:50 pm"Indeed. Enough of that aimless talk--it's about time for me to grab something to eat, would you care to join me?"
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:55 pm"Might as well."
Re: I8DT - Walk like an Egyptian
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:57 pm"Fantastic. I know a great little place where we can sit and talk about...old times."
