"Lizards are... How to put this... They're green and brown usually, and they have scales, which is like hard skin. They've got tails too, and sharp teeth. Er... No that's not right.." Takeshi frowned as he rubbed at his head, trying to think how best to describe a lizard. "You'll understand when you see these people, it's kinda hard to put into words." Another reminder of just how much they had to teach T'charrl, and Shu for that matter. As of late there had been plenty of reason to educate both of them but the simple issue was there just wasn't time for it. Maybe once everything had settled down they could see about getting Shu and T'charrl all caught up, not until then though. Glancing back at his friend Takeshi smiled slightly, giving a shake of his head. "If it's like deserts at home it gets really cold, you won't want to be out here then either. Best we can do is tough it out and get to town, its a little nicer in the buildings and shade. Plus there's the water. Though... You don't like water."

Being beaten on by the wind was possibly worse than the heat they were in. While the wind sort of cooled them off it also blasted them with sand, probably soiling their cloaks and definitely causing some discomfort. Last time they were here it hadn't been nearly this difficult to travel, it was probably a sandstorm or something. Just their luck to come here during a storm. Having Viral brought up made Takeshi grin sheepishly, giving a shrug of his shoulders. "Well... I guess Viral and I do kinda fight a lot, now that I think about it. We always have," he admitted, "I like fighting him though. He's strong and I don't feel like I've ever really beaten him, you know? So when I finally do it'll be a big thing for me." He couldn't fight Viral right now, he wasn't strong enough to fight. Takeshi wouldn't have anything less than the Beastman's best when they fought either, otherwise it was a pretty hollow match even if he won. T'charrl's question was a bit of a puzzling one only because it could go both ways. "When we fought here I guess he was the bad guy, if you put it that way. I've been the bad guy too though, so take that for what it's worth." He basically grew up the bad guy, and he'd certainly done his fair share of unsavory things even since meeting Shu and the others.
