Friendly trip to Egypt

Andrew had not realised that he had not greeted Mariana when she opened the door. Well it was too late now, as it would feel out of place. He was also confused at the fact that her clothing could be comfortable. It was black after all, which absorbed large amounts of heat. He should've know, since he had spent a lot of time in Africa hunting down people.

He thought for a moment as she asked what they would be doing for the evening. He hadn't taken that thought into consideration and now was thinking about what they could do. For one, they would have to go and see some of restaurants and eat some new food. Or they could go out a safari and see nature, or something. "Safari maybe?" he asked Mariana.

Mariana got almost surprsed by this Andrew's idea. "We're going to 3 days cruise which is actually safari tommorov afternoon." she said wondering for herself if she had mentioned this part before. If not, well now seemed like a perfect time because going to safari at evening was a rather bad idea even for troublemakers like them.

"I was meaning night life. Where do you prefer? Dinner at resturant, disco, just walk and buy fast food on the way?" she said shooting suggestions like from the canon though it was usually what people did at night on holidays. "Or we can try everything at once?" she said shooting her last one and shutting up a moment later.

Andrew nodded his head to the schedule that Mariana had planned for them, almost excited for the Safari. He wanted to see some new kind of animals, mostly the Lion. Or the giraffe. "Alright then," he said calmly his thought still looming the schedule still. A three day cruise? Geez the entire trip itself must've been very expensive. "How much is all of this costing anyway?" he asked curiously.

"Well I was preferring that we just go and see the sights," he said shrugging his shoulders up and down "It's Egypt and I have a lot of bad memories here. I need to see something exciting or something." He still had the scar on his left shoulder from the sniper bullet, the one he had recieved only weeks ago. His thoughts also still raced over about Ne'Os's evil mind f*ck back at the pyramid he had destroyed.

Mariana noticed Andrew's nod not really knowing what to say. "Well boat trips are not that expenisve by themselves. The cruise is included in 8 days tours. I think it was 300 euros not sure how much is that in British money." she replied not really sure did Andrew look at the price when he was paying and neither having intention to ask that.

"Okay i'm really okay by anything let's go." Mari cheered as she grabbed Andrew for his hand and pulled him out of their appartment, and a minute later out the hotel. "Left is the beach i think, and right... I think i saw some tower on the map. So?" she explained not really sure whether to ask Andrew something or not. He did look a bit strange today.

Andrew nodded again, not wanting to go into the further details of money. Frankly, he just wanted to enjoy the time with his friend and...colleague. That was the best way, in Andrew's mind, to describe Nick. He toke another glance back towards where Nick had been sleeping, another wave of irritation going through him. He sighed again, thinking that it was unhealthy to see Nick that way. Sure he had nearly tried to kill Andrew on several occasions, but he had also tried to help Andrew find Nerissa...but at the end of the day, he had thrown Andrew off his broom, nearly killing him. Now he just wanted to leave.

He felt himself being tugged on the hand however, feeling himself being dragged out into the elevator and out into the blazing sun again. He scratched the back of his neck, a usual sign for him that he was thinking. "Umm..." he said in a thoughtful tone "maybe we should head swimming first, then we can go to dinner or something. So that way we can prepare for later on...if Nick is even awake at that point." He grabbed onto Mari's hand and pulled her down to the street area, standing next to her on the sidewalk. Okay, now he needed a way to hail a taxi. He waited a minute before another yellow cab turned around the corner and drove down the street they were on. Andrew lifted up his hand, holding out his thumb in some sort of a hitchhiker way and whistled loudly. The cab turned on a dime, stopping in front of the two teens. "After you," he said to Mari, opening the door to the backseat.

Mariana was so glad she had a swimming suit under her clothes right now. Swimming at 6 PM wasn't excatly what she had in mind. "Okay, but you know we could have walked for a few minutes to the beach?" she said with a grin as she entered the cab and sat on the seat behind the cab driver. "Nick seems that didn't enjoy the flight. He might join us for dinner later..." she replied waiting for Andrew to enter the cab.

Andrew nodded his head up and down, realizing that it was a short walk. "I really don't want to be walking in such an imense heat right now," he said calmly, stepping into the car. It wasn't that very hot out, yet to Andrew it felt like he would blister from all of the heat. He had lived in the USA, things never got really hot nor really cold. Except for blizzards now and then, but he would just hibernate himself in the apartment or just apparate to London. He never really needed to be out in such weathers anyway.

Andrew gave a little snort when she mentioned Nick. He had almost forgot. Almost forgot that he was there with them. "He'll be fine," he said coldly and closed the door. The cab driver spoke in an foreign languge, Andrew not being able to fully comprehend. "The beach!" he said in a slow kind of voice. The cab driver didn't understand at first, but then nodded after looking through his dictionary. He looked very irritated after they started to drive off. "I just can't handle Nick at the moment," he said honestly to Mari, his tension starting to release a bit "he has nearly killed me on several occasions. He's more of a nuisance than a friend at this point."
