Tyrone's eyebrows shot up in surprise at the words Great War. "Really? You are a living peice of history, then. I hope you don't mind if I ask you some questions about your experiences. And I salute you for surviving with your good humor intact. Although I guess being able to escape here for breaks would help with that."

He wondered if he should tell her that a second Great War had - or in her case, would - occur not twenty years later.

"Oh, I'm currently comparing the various myths and legends from arround the world to those in the Iraq-Iran region. There's this theory that every society in the world split apart from one super-civilization in that region. The similarities between many stories, fables and artifacts may be proof of this. If there is any varity to this, if there is an Eden or Atlantis from which we all came, it would rewrite history as we know it. Plus I could..."

He stopped, self-conscious again. There were a few things he should keep to himself. Plus he wasn't sure Emery was understanding what he was saying. "Sorry. I tend to babble."

"A living piece of history." Emery repeated. "You certainly know how to make a girl feel old!"

She sighed and looked at her hands. "I have been in France a year and a half now, but I haven't got much worth telling about it. I said it's dull. But I really only found the loft a few weeks ago in my time, though it seems like longer...but that's another story."

She put a hand under her chin and listened as he told about his research. "...So you are looking for evidence of a great culture from ancient times that we all came from?" she laughs as he accuses himself of babbling "Babble. It's so funny you should say that word. It makes me think about the Tower of Babble somehow, what you were talking about."

"Did I insult you? I'm sorry. I just love learning about history in general, and to know someone who actually lived through that time and has fresh memories of it would be any historian's dream." He smiled for the first time. "If you don't mind, I'd love to interview you about your experiences of the war one day."

Tyrone chuckled. "The word babble does have its origins in the name of Babelon and its tower. This theory posits that the foundation of Babelon was the begining of the split between the world's cultures." He stopped agin as he heard a voice ask if he was new in town. "If you'll excuse me. Nice to meet you." He reluctantly turned his shoulder towards the voice.
