[Jaunt] Not long after the beginning of Week Four

Can anyone tell me what in the bloody hell is going on? One moment I was a professor, and now I am... myself, but also still somehow Professor Cavour.

Also, whoever decided I should be called bloody Cavour has some explaining to do.

At any rate, darlings, I'm back. What's been going on?

"What's that supposed to mean?" There's no venom in the protest, though, since Naoki knows it's absolutely true.

"...Why would you have wanted to pretend to be his wife?"

"We were in a very traditionally Jewish part of Jerusalem, that did not appreciate unattended women walking about. No one would tell me anything as a woman of my age if I was unattached." She shrugs. "Wooley did well enough in the end, though."

"Ah. One of those situations. Did you manage to come up with anything to do, or were you stuck waiting it out?"
