Lost in Dreams (Alexander)

[ericthered]

"I think We'll have one more night away from mona. But it will be the last night in this." He waves his hand at the barren terrain.

Green settles down to sleep. He wakes slowly in the morning, and certainly misses caffeine multiple times. Fortunately, he doesn't have a bad temper, and passes himself off as a reasonably pleasant person.

The journey out of the badlands is ... steep. There is not other word for it. They journey uphill into mountains. The crops are tended by more of turbaned workers with the odd heads, and appear to be something other than grain. Something leafy.

The group slows down quite a bit. For one, the climb is arduous, Particuarly for Alexander. For another, they seem to think they are home safe. Indeed, the family seems to think Arca owes them a night in an inn.

Over one break, Arca asks Alexander if he has the payment ready.
