Hathor's tits, scribe!

You want to take me out of everything that I know to put me in a storehouse in the middle of a wasteland? You do remember what happened the last time my family was in a desert wasteland, do you not? I really do not want to believe that you are as witless as a river beast, however, I must wonder.

Leave me with my father. He needs me after everything that has gone on.

If you must go on with this, please re-read my story, no matter how you must get it. Your details are rusty.

Doesn't make it a desert. What makes it a desert is how often it gets rain, and we do get that.
