Hold on. Ashildr finally interrupted. While this is all absolutely fascinating and everything I have a strong feeling you're withholding some very imporant information. Earlier on you said you were asking me to help you. Help you do what, exactly?
Anubis went silent. He seemed reluctant to reveal his plan.
Tell me, Mee, daughter of Hathor, what do you know of the Nile?
Ashildr tried to suppress a short burst of laughter. The Nile? It's a river somewhere in Egypt. My diary tells me I've been there. Beautiful in spring, really.
Anubis' eyes filled with contempt before he relaxed again. Mee, daughter of Hathor, I smelled that you are more than just a human woman. I have to let you in on my long and complicated story that you may find hard to believe. I ask you to place your trust in me, Mee, for together, we have a chance to find our answers inside Highclere manor.
Great, another monologue, Ashildr thought. She knew the type of alien all too well.
