Apparently I'm leaving for the Middle East tomorrow morning. I've had medical conferences in Vienna and London, but this seems to be an entirely new kind of professional voyage. For one, it involves subtle lies to my non-tale coworkers.

I don't resent an opportunity to travel, but it does make one wonder about the sorts of hoops one is expected to

I love the middle-east! Though I do prefer the East, as Virginia is my favourite state!

Farther.

Oklahoma City??

[itwasnotso]

Farther. There are some oceans involved, Dickering.

I was perhaps a little melodramatic.

Specifically, we'll be going to a kibbutz in Tel Aviv, Israel - there really shouldn't be any danger.

Details at last, eh?

Alright.

Reynard.

[scheherazading]

My apologies! Things are a bit... hectic.

We'll be retrieving Professor Rick Jones - I don't know the details, but his research in Turkey did not turn out as planned. In a bloodied, broken-bone sort of way. He's staying with another Tale now - Rivka Yisroel.

The rest, you know - Ebony Horse, tomorrow morning, Tel Aviv.

They are sending you all the way to the Middle East to treat someone? The Atheneum knows the Middle East does have competent surgeons, right?

It seems a measure to prevent any non-tale doctor from prying -- bold questions and all -- into the nature of this particular accident.

Reynard.

[ladybold]

What in the world did this man do that would threaten the tale community if treated? It makes you wonder what the Atheneum have people doing these days.

I have absolutely no idea. My task is to do my job and return, so that's what I'll do.

I hope you don't mind giving a helping hand to your fellow man because unless you talked money before hand I doubt you will get any.

[itwasnotso]

I am the very definition of generous and giving, my dear.
