At least that was how he understood it.

But he was also curious to see what was further down the corridor so he kept going until he reached a room with obvious Egyptian artifacts. Cool. His eyes transfixed on a grouping of canopic jars, he was just starting to walk towards them when a sudden voice made him jump slightly in surprise. Even if she might have been trying to not startle him, he had been so focused on what he was looking at that he hadn't even realized anyone else was in there with him.

"Oh, hi, Professor Stewart," he smiled at the woman. Even after several years of it, he still found the formal address some of the professors chose to use with the students to sound strange to his ears. "Sure," he shrugged. "There's a lot of interesting things in here." And he figured anyone who hadn't been in here before would think that. "Have you been in here before?"

Oops. Even though she had been being quite and hadn't intended on startling the Hufflepuff, she had done just that. Whatever he was trying to understand through those hieroglyphs on the wall must have been enough to keep him from hearing her walking towards him. "Sorry about that, I didn't mean to startle you," she apologized softly.

Brown eyes turned towards the writing and pictures on the wall, silently studying them. This was certainly not one of her strong suits and without a book or something to help decipher the symbols there wasn't very much she could understand. A lot of guess work would be happening if she tried. "There certainly seems to be," Camilla agreed carefully walking towards where the baskets were to get a better look. "No, I haven't had the chance. I take it this is your first time in here as well?" She looked over her shoulder at him as she spoke.
