She sighs. "Let's try something else..." she says to herself and pushes herself up to grab one of the books on the shelves. "Let's see here... divine messengers..."
She puts down the book in front of the dais and goes to add more things to the fire. After a little while she carefully fishes a coal out from the bowl, lets it cool off a bit and begins drawing symbols around the firebowl. When she's done she adds another piece from the letter to the flames and begins chanting again, this time to invoke a favor form Thoth to send a message to Athena. The
bird that manifests out of the smoke looks a little ethereal but real enough. Nailah stands up to open the window and the creature made of smoke and heka takes flight to seek out Athena. A cellphone would be more convenient if she had a number, but this had the additional effect of showing off should the bird find it's way to the girl.
