Cleotiti is still visibly shaking behind her desk. She's staring at you like she wants to trust you, but something's keeping her back. "Y-You sure y-you won't burn me?"
You hold up your arms. "I don't see anything flammable on me, do you?"
Cleo examined you carefully. "N-No... I-I guess you don't..." she slowly, but surely emerged from behind her desk. "Y-You're my p-partner for today? Why?"
You didn't actually have the answer for that. "I'm not sure... maybe Lexi was hoping you'd crush me or something."
Cleotiti finally gathered up the courage to bend down to get a look at you. "Y-you seem like a n-nice human... I... guess you could work with me." She lowered a bandaged and shaking hand down toward you. You weren't sure if you should climb on or not... after a moment, you finally climbed onto the mummy's hand. "So, what's the first order of business?"
