WHO SAYS SONS OF THE PHARAOHS

read and write ancient egyptian, hieroglyphics and hieratic, coding and cataloging--brains and organization and very thin eyebrows
parents were patrons of the museum of antiquities

god, this is a fancier museum than I remember the museum being, lol

I love that dude's tarbouche
"of course she's reading a book she's a librarian"
into books in general so cute D:
she gets so excited about stuff, so guileless

ACCORDING TO BEMBRIDGE SCHOLARS
I love the mirror trick

I love how gobsmacked she is at the idea of him bringing her a present; I just find it impossible to believe she has much experience with ~*~romance~*~
"sah-net jer"
god, she's such a dork. spooooooooky voices for ~*~entering the afterlife~*~
does jonathan have a derringer? what the fuck is that gun
REFUSES TO GIVE UP HER THING SITE but also knows how to play the diplomat when needed--more importantly, when it's clear that she can get around it to other things. NOT REALLY GIVING IT UP AT ALL

"zee-eda"?

"let me get this straight, they take out your guts and stuff them into jars" EVY WILL HAPPILY TEACH YOU
GOLF-PLAYING
evy probably thought all the gross parts of egyptian myth were hilarious does she have priapus jokes on hand also
she just seems like mary in the world where george was never born, except with more humour
one imagines she was not particularly popular among her peers for her interests as a child

OH GOD BUGS NO

pressurized salt acid, huh

doesn't believe in curses
"I believe that if I can see it and I can touch it, then it's real"
Glenlivet, twelve years old! jonathan is pleased

"yallah! nimshi!"
did the recoil from that gun knock her on her back? OH EVY

drunk evy is just so cheerful and flirty
I like to think she said "a place like me in a girl like this" on purpose
locket!
I really love how much she likes being a librarian, she's just so cute
FALLING DOWN DRUNK

OH I'VE DREAMT ABOUT THIS SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. man, she's always wanted to discover a mummy of her own, huh.

"hom-dai, the worst of all egyptian curses"
she's so excited for spooky stories, god, it's so cute

OH LET'S STEAL A BOOK

"It's just a book. No harm ever came from reading a book."
bugs arriving ew--a plague of locusts
AAAAAAAH BUGS LET'S SHOOT THEM
falls through a wall ahhh
"Oh, oh, Mr. Burns, thank goodness." OH DEAR GOD. LET'S SCREAM.
"P-please don't leave me." She's trying so hard not to panic, poor baby. But she's still sort of frozen in place and terrified.

Fort Brydon, Cairo
Evy has a conscience, can't say no once she's involved
THAT'S ALL I AM TO YOU, A CONTRACT
can have her take him up on the offer to tag along to wherever next he wants to go
clearly ~*~likes~*~ him at this point, is suddenly unsure whether he feels anything similarly

Walks and reads

eww eww eww, don't kiss the mummy
she has got an amazing apartment, btw
and a white kitty-cat

OH GOD MUMMY

her hair is so pretty
OUTWITTING THE BEMBRIDGE SCHOLARS OH FOR WIN
"TAKE THAT, BEMBRIDGE SCHOLARS"
she's just so adorable when she's happy

I like that she gets scared and it doesn't reflect badly on her. because this is scary stuff, yo.
she's a good, principled creature, and she plays by the rules of honour and sportsmanship
MEANINGFUL GLANCES
and she's forceful and smart and has a stiff upper lip even though it's scary
EXCEPT SHE THOUGHT THEY WERE PLAYING BY THE RULES OF SPORTSMANSHIP and now she's all worry and upset

OH MY GOD HER BLACK HEELS ARE ADORABLE
KISSES. for imhotep. I love that scene. in all of these, she just uses what she has--feminine wiles for imhotep, librarian severity for beni--and it works. because she's quick-witted and smart.

RICK SHE'S SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR GUNSHOT smiley smiles

SHOOT A GUN TO TURN THE MIRRORS ON THAT'S GREAT

WHEN DID EVY GET TIED UP who knows whatever it's hot
ew ew ew rats, ew ew ew corpses, poor evy says no
time to shout for help. hey, if it's all you've got left.
SHUT UP AND GET ME OFF OF HERE JONATHAN
she'd help, but she's still chained up D:
Jonathan, you're an idiot. a charming idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.
Evy gets to solve the hieroglyphics puzzle o/

I love that sing-song voice she has. You're not helping~! Patience is a virtue~!

death is only the beginning~

would rather get the artifact back than live, unless she's being pulled along :| it's, like, the kneejerk reaction, no doubt

god, the leadup to the kiss is so corny, I love it
and they smile at each other, and it's adoracutes
MAKEOUTS ALL THE WAY BACK
