Oh, hey, Magnus, there you are. I wanted you to meet someone. [He indicates a vaguely Egyptian-looking guy with a sword on his back.] This is Ardeth Bay and he knows a thing or two about fighting dangerous opponents.

Her eyes narrow, "it better not happen again." Shaking head she says, "Sorry. That's not the important thing I wanted to talk about."
