QC didn't know how it happened. Elenia came by nearly every day and every day she and SenenAnep sat at a table in the corner whispering things to one another. He finally came closer to listen in...

"It's 'A'," Elenia said.

"No," SenenAnep shook his head. "It's Eagle."

"I don't understand, I thought I was teaching you."

"You are," SenenAnep smiled. "But it's not 'A', it's Eagle. Don't you know how to spell Apple?"

Elenia's eyebrow raised but SenenAnep continued with his Egyptian letters.

"Eagle, Two squares, a lion, and Two Feathers."

"You're kidding me."

"No, that's how you spell Apple."

Elenia shook her head... "That's not spelling Apple, that's playing 'I spy with my little eye!'"

Quintus Cinna threw his broom to the floor. This place was nuts.
