She did not want to end up that way. "Thank you," she smiled at the goblin as she stepped back to reveal their new vault.

She walked in a room the size of a large walk in closet but it was lined with shelves that went all the way up to the ceiling. The boy ran around laughing and blowing dust off the shelves at each other. Egypt walked into the center of the room and laid her bag on the floor. She reached down and opened it.

She pulled out her jewelry box which contained her more valuable pieces that she couldn't keep lying around the house. It was made of the darkest mahogany and it was at least as tall as Egypt was, with tiny drawers and boxes from the top to the bottom. She set it up in the corner using her wand to move it. It was too heavy for her. Next came the family tree, which was actually a large tapestry that was the size of several bed sheets sewn together. It dated all the way back 400 B.C. Egypt as the family historian had the honor of keeping the tapestry. She used her wand to stick it to the far wall that was too rocky to contain shelves. She stopped for a moment looking at her family and once or twice she touched a name as she remembered them.

For the better part of an hour she pulled things out of her bag. It seemed the thing was bottomless, but she had to move all things from their old vault to the new one. Which was a ton of things, including the family gold. Which took up all the floor space and much of another wall. Ben and Devon were playing with a model broom that Egypt had pulled out of her bag. She was sweating by the time she was done but everything was moved in. Including all the important family papers. "Ok boys time to go," she called over to her children. Ben leaned the broom up against a shelf and they ran our of the vault. She turned to the goblin, "Thank you I'm finished now." she didn't have to say that but goblins were easily offended so she didn't want to do anything wrong. They were too far underground for that.
Quazi nodded and gave Mrs Greenwood a politely nod. Keeping one eye on the boys, Quazi bounced slightly on her toes. The three hour ride had only made her a bit restless, but her legs were at a bit of a discomfort. In all her time employed within these wall, she had not gotten completely accustom to the extremely long trips to the deepest depths of the vaults.

Humming softly to herself, she continued to watch the boys as they played. Human interaction still intrigued her so. Goblins were so different from other magical creatures and seeing the two boys playing struck her interest. She own childhood was nothing like this and she did fun amusement in watching the two run about the vault.

As the hour neared, Quazi moved from just bouncing slightly to switching her weight from one leg to the others. Standing in one place for so long was not of any comfort for her, but she knew it wouldn't be all that long before they were all again in the cart.

The voice of Mrs Greenwood brought her back to reality. Acknowledging Mrs Greenwood with a nod, Quazi moved back and waited for everyone to exit the vault. "Do make yourselves comfortable again. I shall be right with you and then we will return to the surface," Quazi stated as she closed the vault door.

Resting her hand flat against the door, a faint sound could be heard. Mumbling just under her breathe, Quazi removed her hand and began to trace a strange design with her finger over the door. As the sounds because louder, Quazi pulled her finger away a fraction and paused. A rather loud click was heard within the vault door itself as Quazi because to mumble again. After the sounds became silent, Quazi turned and returned to the cart.

Soon after entering the cart, the cart was once again on its way. Navigating its way back through the darkness and nearly endless turns and dips toward the surface once again. Zooming past countless vaults and empty hallow corridors, the cart finally ascend back to the place they once entered the cart some hours ago.

Stopping just at the bottom of the stairs, Quazi motioned for everyone exit the cart, as they were safely back to their starting point. Dusting herself off, Quazi hopped from the cart and bowed slightly. "It was a pleasure to have your business, Mrs Greenwood. I do hope to see you again and do please come back," Quazi smiled as she lead the way up the stairs toward the main hall.

OCC: please post leaving in the given thread. Thank you for playing and come back again.
