Re: The Orient Express Platform
Wolfgang seems genuinely pleased and returns your handshake. A pained expression passes over his features for a moment, but he quickly shrugs it off.

Re: The Orient Express Platform
Fernand can tell that the woman has simply fainted. She doesn't appear to be in any real distress. Her heart rate is fine, breathing fine, eyes constrict when he opens her eye lids ... everything seems just fine.
The attendant arrives and picks up the woman's ticket, The woman's eyes flutter open and she struggles to stand, The attendant helps her to her feet and repeats in English, French, and German, The woman states, The attendant helps her to stand and gestures for the attendant from the Yennifer Sleeping Car to come over to him, leaving the line over there to come and assist her to her feet.

Is it bad that I listen to this about ten times a day?

Re: The Orient Express Platform
Schiller's expression noticeably brightens when Wolfgang mentions his academic past. Indeed, judging from the mirth in his demeanor, he truly is thrilled at the prospect.

Re: The Orient Express Platform
Wolfgang barely manages to refrain from flinching at the mention of the Reich, and he returns an almost warm smile. He looks at the rather reserved man with the close-cropped hair.
He bids adieu with a nod and boards the train.

Re: The Orient Express Platform
While never taking his eyes from his paper, the well-dressed man with the pipe attempts to understand the German being spoken by the two other men near the Jeanette car.

Failing to hear or understand, he then continues to wait until he may show his tickets and passport to board the train.

Schiller nods as Wolfgang departs. He then resumes his place in line to board the Jeannette car.

Re: The Orient Express Platform
The cabin attendant resumed his position at the door to the train car and gave them both a friendly smile as they approached. Thus far the two Germans would be vaguely aware that an American couple has boarded their Sleeping Car just prior to the attendant coming over to look over the fainted woman. Now there appears to be three people - the two Germans and the pipe smoker - who appear to be boarding this Sleeping Car.
With that the three passengers are free to board the train.

Re: The Orient Express Platform
Fernand seems thankful that after checking on the poor woman the other men seem to excuse the fugue he enters. Before he realizes the two gentleman have continued there conversation on to the train.
He turns to the attendant and says.
Before absentmindedly gathering his ticket and preparing to board the Yennifer car.

Re: The Orient Express Platform
The Yennifer Sleeping Car attendant agrees to help the lady and goes over to enter Yennifer with the woman, leaving the rest of the people (including Fernand queueing up outside the car entrance while he assists her to a compartment, giving a brief apology to those waiting.
The Agatha Sleeping Car line seems to have all boarded though there is always the chance of a latecomer rushing up to catch it.
There are still three people waiting outside the Jeanette Sleeping Car. A Meditteranean couple also approaches that Sleeping Car, looking quite flustered and focused.
There are only a few minutes before the train is scheduled to depart.

Re: The Orient Express Platform
Schiller boards the train, doing cartwheels in his brain but not in real life as he does so.

Re: The Orient Express Platform
Just as a huge wave of steam is expelled from the engine in preparation for departure, there is a commotion up the platform as a small group of people attempt to push through the crowds of well wishers and train spotters. The head platform attendant makes a space through to allow a young man and three luggage-carrying porters to walk briskly to the train just in time. The young man turns, tips the head man and then climbs nimbly into the 1st class carriage with his porters trailing after him. They reappear soon after, looking fairly pleased with themselves, and turn to watch the wonderful sight of such a beautiful train pull away.
