Sly Fox Sand Dunes [m]e and you and awkward silence

S'ari traveled, as she said, the coyote answered his first question. She walked, she saw. Many sights were interesting. She enjoyed her time away. Now, S'ari has returned home, and she is happy here. She glanced at Alphus out of the corner of her eye. And if this one thinks the desert is all the same, he is sorely mistaken. The desert changes constantly, dunes appear where they were not before. And if one stays out in the heat for too long, one will see many things that are not there.

She smiled at his offer of some gift from his green land. Well. S'ari looks forward to that. What will it be, she wonders. A pretty feather from a bird? A rock with some strange pattern?

As she spoke, they crested a small shrub-covered hill and came upon... Ah, there. Water.

They had arrived at Lake Bismuth.
