"... we're here," Sophie said, as they stepped out of the portal. "Five days of relaxation in a private villa." She shot Geoffrey a look. "Or longer, if you so decide."

"I... might be persuaded to longer," he admitted with a faint smile at her. There was a glance around, and then Geoffrey looked down at himself, or rather, the massive black coat he always wore.

"I'm going to have to take this off, aren't I?"

Sophie smiled slightly. "You could certainly attempt to leave it on, but if heatstroke occurs, I'll be very put out. Possibly refuse to fan you during your recovery."

He didn't say anything else before taking off the coat and folding it over the top of his somewhat-ragged luggage.

"So... Dubai. We're actually in Dubai. I have to say, this one is a new one for me."

"A new one for many people," Sophie said lightly. "I purchased it after my first job with Leverage. Thanks to Alec's stock trading skills, and a nasty little man who indulged in corporate espionage." She trailed her fingers along the wall as she walked over to him. "Home of princes, billionaires, and other people we can avoid if you wish."
