Zia wasn't entirely sure what to expect at an expedition like this. She had done her fair share of medical volunteering out in the field but she reckoned it was very different when there was cursebreaking involved. It didn't help that her stepbrother had been his usual brooding self, not even bothering to give her any pointers even though they will be sharing the same desert air for the next few days. No matter. She wasn't here for the cursebreaking, she was merely here to make sure that nobody loses a limb or Merlin forbid, die. Her stepbrother can fall off the face of the earth through a dig site for all she cared.

Upon arriving, the healer gave Marmie the house elf a small smile as it talked, most of her attention on the creature's ear or lack thereof. She had to wonder how that came to be. But soon enough the house elf was done talking and she was being directed to her tent which she was going to share with...the woman who was making her exit.

Zia only made a brief eye contact with the woman and thanked Marmie for the help before stepping inside. Quickly, she unpacked and took quick note of the card's contents. Given where the medical tent was situated, she would be getting a front row seat to the action without actually taking part. Lovely.

A quick glance at her watch told her she still had a few minutes (about 3 and 47 seconds) before they were expected in the mess tent and she was going to savor that by lounging on her bed for the time being.

Gavin paid little to no heed at the house elf. He had been to enough of these things to know what to expect (the same could not be said for his stepsister). What he was looking forward to the most was of course what kind of treasure they would discover this time, and the challenge that came with it. There was also the fact that prominent names in the cursebreaking industry was part of this expedition and he would want to make an acquaintance of them.

Wordlessly following the house elf to his tent assignment, Gavin took note of the name of who he was going to share the space with. A fellow Gringotts cursebreaker, one he had met in passing sometime ago. Good call on their part not to pair him off with a nosy body, or worse, a babbling teenager.

Once the house elf disappeared, he immediately went to unpack the few things he always brought to these expeditions, familiarized himself with the information on his card and was soon on his way to the mess tent.
