It seems ithe heat of the desert has made the residents of Ni'Srilan too tired to have anything but idle chatter. I myself am just as much to blame, it seems I am distracted by the weight of it. I can think of nothing but the heat that beats down on my blue back, that coats my chest and neck in sweat and has my tongue suddenly craving the taste of water. How, then, is anyone to have any sort of stirring conversation when they can barely take their attention off of the overbearing heat? I offer him a wry smile. "Know of any way to get away from this god forsaken heat?" I begin to wonder if this is really the place for me. I am already more than tired of the heat, and though I have been here a week, I do not seem to be adjusting. "How did you do it?" My eyes meet his, perhaps I am showing too much the things I consider. I am no traitor, but how the hell can anyone get used to this? "I mean, the heat. How did you learn to live in it?" I could not possibly be the first to suffer benetah it's weight, to have trouble adjusting. Maybe even this Sterling had experienced something similar. All I really wanted was a reason to love Ni'Srilan despite the heat...A friend would do. Something, someone, to make Ni'Srilan feel like home. And maybe that was it. Maybe Ni'Srilan wasn't home yet because I could not fully forget the ocean, Arnicyde. "I'm sorry." The appology is weak, as suddenly I realize my eyes have fallen to the dusty earth and a wave of slef-pity has struck me. Homesickness. It was sure to come at some time, I had just hoped it would come while I was alone, and would not drag someone into it with me. My milky brown eyes return to his. "I'm not usually such a sad sap." Suck it up buttercup. Arnicyde is gone and you are a snake now. And who knows, maybe this Sterling would be able to make Ni'Srilan feel more like home. Right now, it was a dry, hot sandbox, and all I wanted was to feel the ocean lapping at my hooves. "What's there to do around here anyway?" I offer him the best witty grin I can muster, plucking up my spirits and cramming those homesick feelings to the back of my mind. None of that Indy, you are always stronger than that. Self-pity will really get you nowhere, and Ni'Srilan surely has some redeeming qualities about it.
