[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7175996, member: 20323"] Whatever was the matter with the camels seems to have settled down. It seemed to Akilah that the beasts were prodded into some kind of a wailing cacophony, though what caused it mystified the nomads of House Bakr. Sweets chomps warily on a date pit, lowering her head and batting her eyes. One bearded man with some misshapen teeth smiles and shrugs to Akilah, [b]"The camels always look for an excuse to complain, Lady Vizier. Do not think them ungrateful, it is merely their nature."[/b] However, Akilah's keen eyes pick up disturbed patches of sand leading to where Harun is seated, more specifically to a boulder just behind the prince. As fascinated as Harun has been with the broken brass sphere, suddenly he notices that the fantastical decanter he "liberated" from the passing merchants in al-Yabki Pass has gone missing!
