Jess sat at the terminal that Sarah and Jay would be coming out of with a sign that said "MOST HONORED GUEST OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM SARAH AND JAY".
She rolled her eyes at it and leaned against a tower.

Sarah was a bit wobbly coming off the plane--she'd flown before, of course, but flying experience had never really lessened the effect that jet lag seemed to have on her. At least it wasn't a huge time zone change like what she'd gotten between vanishing from the US and appearing in France.
Seeing Jess, she waved, smirking at the formal sign.
"Weeell, I wasn't expecting a greeting like that."

"Well they like to make a big deal about things like this, you've got champagne and balloons in the limo" she grinned and gave Sarah a hug.

Jay laughed "Well champagne is always welcome."

She chuckled, hugging Jess warmly.
"Ohhh boyyy. I hope they don't make too big a deal. That kind of attention always makes me feel awkward."

"They might, you'll be meeting with Augustus Wollaston Franks, he's a sweet man, I'm sure you'll love him. He's the director of antiquities at the museum and president of the Society of Antiquaries here in London. Although he specializes mostly in glass and porcelain, there isn't a man around that knows more about medieval England and so forth." She moved quickly toward the limo, her heels clicking on the stone of the airport "Here we are."

"Oooo...he sounds awesome." She said as she followed.
"And god, I'm just excited, period--I've always wanted to visit the British Museum."

The driver was standing outside and opened the limo for them, Jess thanked him and waited until the two got in before heading in after them.
"He's wonderful, I could sit and listen to him talk for hours, and I have" she laughed and grabbed a few glasses as the car took off "Champagne?"

"Please" Jay smiled and took the glass from her "Yes, I've read about him, he's amassed quite a fortune in medieval ceramics, an odd collection, but as you've seen my house, I don't have much to say on the matter of odd."

Pouring the champagne Jess smiled "Oh he's definitely got money and an amazing beard, you'll see" she chuckled "oh!" Turning around she grabbed the balloons "See, told you."

Sarah chuckled at the balloons, slowly sipping the champagne. She used to hate the stuff, but thanks to verse magic it was no problem now.
"So...how hard was it to get them to believe that someone found Excalibur?"

Jess leaned back, making sure to keep her legs crossed tightly, sadly she'd decided on the short dress instead of the long one.
"Well, it took a few weeks really, after the literally hundreds of tests they put it through, including having almost everyone who worked there attempt to pick it up and swing it. They finally came to the decision two days ago. Almost two minutes before I called" she laughed and took a drink, readjusting herself "Being new there and not really having a definite area of expertise, they pretty much sent me to you thinking I'd come back with a sad face and no sword. It kind of blew their mind when I came back with the sword and blood lineage."

"Sounds just like a movie--someone makes some awesome discovery, and nobody believes it until proof comes waltzing in the front door."
She paused to take a drink.
"Although usually proof shows up in the form of a disaster." She chuckled.
"Guess we lucked out."

So far.
Jess laughed with a small cough at the end "Yea, most definitely."

She winked at Jess, guessing what she was thinking response to the lucking out comment.
"If worse comes to worse, well, one of us knows Iron Man."
