Youthful eyes blink in surprise at the woman's words, staring for a few seconds before he gives a gentle laugh that is warm and friendly. There's a boyish, youthful charm that clings to him although he cannot be much younger or older than she is. In some ways, its like the marble statues carved by masters who are frozen eternally in their visage — like the Greek heroes sent to wars and battles who still had youth clinging to them while they were sent to spill their blood on the battlefield for the amusement of gods. But unlike cold statues, Chrollo's expression is warm and lively. And even though he dons a dark suit, it's simply charming rather than imposing or authoritative on him.

" Well, it isn't very often I hear people call an ancient mummy a mere dead body, but you are not incorrect. " Chrollo answers with a lingering smile on his lips. " But I was rather hopeful you might. My colleague got sick from food poisoning rather suddenly and this mummy is supposed to be on a flight in a couple hours to ensure it makes it for opening night on a tour. " His rubs the back of his neck, a picturesque display of someone under a great deal of stress. " And, well, you can understand I don't want to drop it trying to load it by myself. "

Chrollo gestures to the other wing of the museum, where the sounds of the crowd drifts through the halls of marble floor and hanging chandeliers to reach the room they currently are.

" I asked the local museum staff here for help, but it seems the opening of a new exhibit here takes precedence over this. " There's a sad smile that rests on his face, like someone whose watched a favorite book be passed over thousands of times. " They agreed they would help but it seems like they underestimated how long they'd be caught up with this. I'm growing quite concerned that they'll be too late. " A sigh eases from his lips, grey eyes turning away from the open doorway to look towards Mya.

" I know you're just a patron visiting this museum like many others, but your assistance would really be appreciated. If you aren't busy? I...don't have a lot on me but I could offer some money at least if you'd like for your help. " He offers, one hand resting over the container the mummy is contained within. The only off thing about anything said is, perhaps, he seems a fraction of a bit too calm for the concerns he voices.
