Ludo & Elsa
<"We will keep trying to destroy the book,"> Ludo promised. <"And keep trying to break it's power."> He couldn't help but wonder if Meskhenet was right about it's power.

<"What would you like us to do with you?"> he asked. <"There are learned men who would want to learn about your time and your people.">

Later
His work with Meskhenet done and no prospect of travelling north that day, Ludo wearily set to digging. It was things like this that made it hard to feel like a victory.
