Redsand Canyon panaderia

it was all that she had asked for.

the fellahin told her the words she wished to hear. an answer for every question. part of her wished to take belen with her upon return. the woman might be nice during times where nazli was too busy.

you will do me a favor while i am here, for delivering this message. there was little room for negotiation in makono's voice. even less room in her lapis gaze.

i have brought a fellahin my age, nazli, with me on this trip. i ask you to teach her things she may not already know. she should return to akashingo more knowledgeable than when she left.

she waited to see if belen may argue with this.
