Abby, as Charlie continued talking about what it was to be Pagan and goes and what not, immediately went to the Egyptian section and honed in on the book titled 'Set.' She slid it from its place on the bookshelf and flipped through it.

It felt like she couldn't breathe, all the names this man went by; Seth, Seti, Setesh, Suty, Sutekh, Setekh. To name a few. He was a god of violence and disorder. A betrayer. That fit a little with what Abigail knew, but something didn't feel right. Something didn't add up quite in the way it was meant to. She could feel it in her gut.

Abby bit her lower lip as she concentrated. Why couldn't her mind move faster or more efficient. In this library, she felt so close to the thing she needed. But she had no way of finding it. No way of knowing how true it all was.

Pitiful. She was pitiful. Slowly she closed the book, etching what she had learned to memory and placed it back exactly where she had found it. She was silent as death.

"Looking up old Set are we?" Said Charlie, spying on the book as abby returned the book to it's spot on the shelf. Charlie could move quietly when he wanted to "I knew him back in the day. My friend Anubhoteph is closer to that whole egyptian pantheon than me, but then again he was a pharoah, and could... you know, not feel divinity like i do. Nothing quite like the pain of being around gods."

It really was quite irritating, his unholy aversion to gods. He could usually put up with it, but since he had begun to intigrate into the normal world, he feared it was getting worse. Maybe it was because meeting gods was a normal part of life on the island. But charlie was happy to be discussing them with abby. Another chance to talk of his experiences and life was all Charlie could do, imparting knowledge his usual way, through anecdote.

"Egyptian gods themselves were quite intresting. You didn't really have good and evil gods, all gods were on the side of order, versus the side of chaos. Despite having gods of flooding and violence, they were all protector gods, protecting Ra as he made his journey through the sky each day, fighting against the serpent of chaos, Apep. To be honest, most of the egyptian gods were really nice people, in my experience, although bes was a bit of a party animal. If you really want to learn more about Set, i can get Anubhoteph to get in contact with the him?"

Abby wanted to curl up into a ball and cry, but she couldn't, not here. And Charlie kept talking about some old friend and Gods and things Abby couldn't even pretend to care about right now. She rubbed her head like a headache were growing.

Abigail smiled tightly at Charlie. "I'd love to hear more, Charlie, but I have to get home to the kids. You know how it is." She pushed past him and made a stiff walk back toward the stairs leading upward.

"I'm sorry. We'll meet up again very soon."
