(Damn public wifi. Whenever more than ten people are connected, loading speed is slowed down drastically.)

Makoru snapped back to attention at mention of his name, his train of thought completely obliterated upon his return to the real world.

"What was that? Watering holes?" he asked, looking about. The Alik'r Desert had completely surrounded the carriage now, with sand stretching as far as the eye could see. He brought himself up and looked out over the desert, then shivered as a cold wind blew by. Night had begun to fall over the desert province, and the normally arid desert was now a frigid lanscape of rocks and sand dunes now that the sun wasn't shining.

"Yes, Mak, we need to find a watering hole. Or an oasis, if you will. Anywhere where there's clean water, really," Jack explained, arching an eyebrow. For someone who spent most of his time surrounded by enemies, Makoru seemed to drift into deep thought quite often.

"And you didn't think to check the water barrels before we entered the desert? I suppose I can try and scrounge something up, but it's rare to find water of any kind in this place. I don't suppose you've seen any dunerippers along the ride, have you?" Makoru asked.
