"Europe?"  That answer surprised her, but it helped to at least hear a bit about what was going on.  She was always eager to listen and to learn.  It quickly occurred to her that a plane ride could prove its own complications, but she also realized that it wasn't anything she'd have trouble dealing with.  "Interesting.  What exactly is going on?"<br/><br/>She nodded at the question, "Of course," her smile buckling a little to show white teeth.  Everyone else seemed a little more closed-lipped, but she'd be able to deal with that easily enough.  If nothing else, she learned fast.  The soft chain tinkled a moment before slipping back down her shirt for easy concealment.<br/><br/>Now she was wondering, though, whether the flood mentioned by the oracle had meant New Orleans, the place she was about to go now, or both.  The rough part about prophecy was that it was never so simplistically easy to understand and accept.  Still, she would get by.  She always did, and certainly she had no false expectations about life being easy.
