The Lemniscates

13. Elyane and Théosote

- A nice boy, right?

- Who?

- You know: the archaeologist.

- Ha. Yes, he looks like one.

- Do you think we'll see him again?

- Possible. But if he deciphered the inscriptions as well as he disarm traps, there is little chance. You know, my dear, where leads this temple.

- Mmm. Nothing says he will follow this path. And we have time before he can find the second one. Besides, the dice did favor him.

- Yes, he has a role to play, that's undeniable. But is it a major role?

- What do you mean?

- Well, he may be intended to be accessory. As a supporting Role. He may influence the main character...

- No, I do not think so. My dice say he has an important role to play.

- In this story?

- Ha?

- What is it?

- This is a text from Ienan. He wants us to go to Guinea.

- In Guinea?

- A priori, he knows someone who can help us.

- Hinhinhin!

- Who said that?

- It's not you?

- No it's Me!

- And who is me?

- Me of course! Who else?

- And you have a name?

- That goes without saying! Me! Nice to meet you.

- Hello. What do you want?

- Well, I must say that although I had fun watching you discuss the first days, but...

- You get tired?

- Alas, it is my nature.

- And you do not want us to go to Guinea?

- Want to? But I want nothing, my dear. I'm just saying it would not be a good idea.

- Do you by chance have a better suggestion?

- But of course!

- And...?

- Yes?

- What is it?

- Well, I thought to purgatory. But there is a small problem, because it would mean ...

- Dying.

- Yes. Funny, right?
