( Evie is looking far more at home. She is, carefully, turning the pages of a large tome. Beside her, there is a lit candle. While some might find the flickering light bothersome, Evie is used to it. Within the various pyramids and tombs of Egypt, she depended on torches for light. Going back to electricity - even if it's available (she hasn't checked) - doesn't seem necessary.

After looking over one page, she marks her place with a strip of leather and looks up. )

I am making progress with the native's language. I stumbled across a poem that seemed to outline their alphabet yesterday. ( The alphabet is the bare bones of any language. She won't be able to do much with it, but it's a start. ) I don't mind sharing the information with anyone who might be interested.

( She shifts and picks up a spare piece of paper, tucking it into her bag. )

Aside from that, I think it's time I started exploring other sectors. Perhaps on foot would be best?

I can be very shortly.

[A pause.]

You know, I still haven't gotten your name.

[nefertiri]

Sorry about that. My name is Evelyn, but you can call me Evie for short.

What is your name?

[cowled]

Bruce Wayne.

[There's a sort of self-assuredness in the way he gives his name, like one well accustomed to it being understood as a Big Deal. It's not arrogance, per se, but a sort of lingering self-awareness. Even though he's been in Keeliai for the better part of the year, he hasn't lost that Gotham shine.]

It's lovely to meet you, Evie. Well, I say 'meet', but... [a vague wave at the consoles.]

[nefertiri]

I'm sure we will meet properly soon, though I have no intention of distracting you from what you had planned for today.

( She is just overly eager to get cracking on the language. )

I doubt you'd be a distraction so much as a saviour, honestly. All I've got planned for the day are endless board meetings.

[HIS LIFE IS SO HARD.]

[nefertiri]

Board meetings, hm? Are you running a business?

[video]

[cowled]

I spearhead a local pharmaceutical company.

[A bit of a wave.]

Nothing harmful to the locals, and all my paperwork's in order if you're concerned. It's mostly to cater to the foreigner population.
