10 minutes holding out for a long distance line with terrible reception and enduring a brief conversation, there is only one thing on my mind...

RAPHAEL YOU IDIOT!!!!!!

Raphael has finally met a problem that is bigger than him? We could help, if it is an option..

As shocking as it sounds yes. And well, he's already given you enough inconvience, guess it's my turn. Just can't believe he'd do something so stupid...and now he's in custody for it!! *annoyed growl*

*falls silent* Custody..? Whatever... I held him for smarter than that.. what happened, Amelda? If it is in African country, he might be in custody for a false pretense. What happened?

*sigh* I'm afraid he let his temper get the better of him and now he's sitting in a jail cell for the moment. I'm going to have to try and work things out over the phone with the locla authorities, as they request someone else to vouch for his character before they let him go.

I'm a bit iffy on details at the moment, I'll wait till they call me abck tonight, but from what I gather, he picked a fight with the wrong person, someone of...high influnce, which resulted in him being charged.

Ah, I see. That could be a tricky part- be careful what you say to them, Amelda. One bad word and they could up his fine or his days in cell.. do you have a trustworthy translator, or an interpretor?

Yes, and remember that here in Africa people are...open for monetary flows, if you understand what I mean. Someone with certain influence and more money will be placed above a tourist or a traveller, so I advice you to be careful in this matter.

I know, it already feels like I'm going around in circles. This warden says he speaks well enough in both languages, but when I ask to talk to Raphael, try to explain things or ask for any details on the incident, he 'suddenly' starts murmuring in his own tongue like he doesn't understand what I'm saying. *skeptic*

Yes, it was the governors son from what i gather, so there is a lot of heavy influence going on here.

Is he speaking Arabic, or French? You have to be careful before they interpret your words as more incriminating towards Raphael. I am not saying that everyone is corrupt, but the right amount of money, patience, or a firm discussion will help.

If you need an ex-Pharaoh, I can throw in my weight. I will not be twiddling my thumbs, not even for Raphael.

He seems to chop and change pretty quickly between languages, like he's trying to confuse me, so I couldn't say exactly which dialect he's using. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I don't think they want to be fair to him, and I worry this governor may hold a hard, unfair and biased grudge on Raphael which could get him into trouble.

*sigh* He may need all the help he can get now, because it doesn't seem like these people are willing to let him go easily. If you want to try and contact them, it's a small community who live south west of Egyptian boarders, I can't remember or pronouce the name.

*sighs* If there is one thing that is a disadvantage of living here, is that corruption and bureaucracy is at large here, and that certain ranks and strings can be pulled to one's favor..and to another one's disadvantage, especially when you do not speak the native language. It is not fair, and it saddens me that my nation has fallen prey to it.

Very well, I will do my best to contact them. I speak the language, so they will not be able to confuse me. We will settle things in an adult manner, I am sure of it.

It does seem someone is in influence, maybe the governor holds bad grudges. If so, all the worse for Raphael. It is unfortunate this can happen so easily on various scales. I just hope that dolt doesn't try anything else that will get him into more trouble.

Maybe they'll listen to you more than me, least I hope. I don't even know WHY Raph did this in the first place, there has to be some reason...
