"That would be great," Jo agreed despite knowing they wouldn't meet again for some time. It had taken a great deal of convincing and some selling of her soul to manage these five days away. Unless Zach visited her near Cairo it was unlikely they would see one another before the new year. Even then, Jo doubted she would have much free time until the winter months had passed.
"Oh, there's plenty to discover in London if you're looking." She had followed a treasure map during her last visit, after all. Granted, it led to more questions than answers, but she was pleased to investigate the next time she visited all the same. "I have a theory that Diagon Alley used to be far more expansive than it presently is, or there was a second similar location. I'd be happy to show you next time I'm in England." Jo wouldn't lead him to the end of the treasure — that was hers to claim alone — but they could examine the history if he was curious.
What would she do if she was a man for a day? Jo suppressed a laugh and kept her head down towards hed cards. The first thing she would do would be examine her new anatomy, if only to better understand why men thought with it so often. "Skirts are a nuisance," she replied, the hint of a laugh easily heard in her voice. "Men have always been lucky to have trousers."
Jo struggled to come up with an adequate answer for his question. For while men had a freedom most women only dreamt of, Jo was freer than them. "Try my hand at sailing, probably. Most sailors don't appreciate women on board their boats. Supposedly, it's ill luck."
The green circle card was next, and she played it with ease. 'What physical feature are you most complimented on?' "I've always been told I have really nice eyes," she shrugged.
