It’s funny that Neso mentions the stars; they were one of the few attractions that drew everyone. Few places, aside from the Tundra, perhaps, had such an unobstructed view of the heavens. And the Tundra was no place for a woman who wanted to make something of herself.
Neso panics for a moment, and Yael isn’t sure why. No one was acting in a threatening manner, so perhaps it was some sort of social anxiety? She could understand that. Her adoptive son, Munroe, wasn’t quite civilized, and there were very few whom he allowed to come close. She tries to sooth the panic for a moment, but doesn’t move to interrupt or urge her towards a decision. The others were free to pitch their own kingdoms as well. But before they can, or perhaps before the right words come to their minds, Neso speaks up again, and a wide smile blossoms on Yael’s face.
”Of course it ees! Ahnd eef you should ever vant to veeseet anozer keengdom, you ahr free to do t’at too.” She glances towards Tiberios and Ledger and nods, hoping they would say the same if they were in her position. It was best to keep goodwill amongst friends - and besides, the Deserts wasn’t like the Jungle. It didn’t demand a lifelong allegiance from its members. It requested. Politely. And with Power. “Eef you’d like to xead t’ere now, ve can. Or ve can vait till morning.”
The Desert can be harsh, but it is loving and protective and marvelous… and it has a stunning sunrise.
