Of course she knew the way. She only got the directions mid-scam.

That only took longer than it should've. Vala didn't help things along by latching onto the end of his sentences or glaring at him. Daniel glared at her back, a silent 'shut up' which she didn't seem to get. This wasn't his fault! He wanted to pay for the food. Like most people did. It was a good thing Daniel had so much practice talking to hostile locals, because he pulled every trick he knew to avoid getting them thrown into a detaining cell for a few hours. In the end, they got off with a slap on the wrist.

Daniel glanced over his shoulder. The slap on the wrist just happened to take the form of a security guard tailing them from a safe distance, a reptilian-armadillo looking alien with four beady purple eyes, all of which were always on them. Daniel got the message. The guard was probably going to do this the entire day, and he didn't care if they knew they were being followed. He was here to stay. This was supposed to be a relaxing shore leave.

He tried to ignore the guard.

"You still want to bother with this place?" Daniel had been hoping she'd call it quits. Even without the near successful scam, Land of the Pharaohs was something he could've done without. Couldn't they have gone somewhere else? This place asked him to turn his brain off to manage. Daniel couldn't do that. The tagin tasted okay. Not the best he'd ever had, but not the worst either. Although he'd only know in a few hours whether it was safe or not, and he ended up food poisoned. With how today was going, that was certainly on the table.
