Fendros twisted his brow skeptically, "Well, I can't say I know what everyone is going through, but I am unsure that buying camels would have been the best move in Senchal." He turned his head to Ahnasha, "Would you really want to share the stormy nights with a bunch of huge animals?"

"You say this, Fendros, but even having camels on the cramped ships is sounding more appealing," Janius responded, curiously the less patient between himself and Fendros. "Personally, I would just prefer to have a set of light clothing." It seemed Newt had finally found purchase that didn't hurt Janius. "It is just an hour or two until camp. At any rate, I'll manange."

Not knowing what else to do, Fendros glanced to Ahnasha and Rhazii, shrugged, and then turned to Kaleeth nearby. "How are you holding up?"

Without turning, or even shaking her head, Sabine responded. "Not exactly, Ma'tanza. You can make a similar ointment for pain out of aloe vera leaves, but it is not as powerful. Do you need to make some more? Ahnasha used plenty for her back when she was pregnant with Rhazii."

While he might have been much more nervous about the topic beforehand, Tzirret had accepted Ma'tanza's troubles as a fact of life by now. He was more attentive to Peiter's explanation; it thoroughly confused him. "Peiter...feels that he is on fire, but...it feels less hot than the jungle?" Tzirret found this desert to be very different to the jungle. It wasn't uncomfortable because the air was thick and the insects gave him a headache, it was uncomfortable because of the sheer heat beating down and the way the dry air got up his nose and into mouth and sucked away the moisture. Tzirret shook his head, "This one will never understand how human skin feels."
