He knows what he is in for, bringing a young thing like Fawn home with Nekharat in tow. Sayyida was a jealous Mira - though she had done a couple things to assuage him out of terror and into fondness over the sentiment. Today, when they come ashore, he thinks he will see (once and for all) what it means to have her as his First Wife as well as Mira. He had to be able to do a Sheiks work, after all, without the constant tending that he’d seen in his uncles and even once or twice with his own father when his mother had gone rogue on him.

Fawn was a pretty dappled palomino, though one could wonder if her dapples might lead to later graying or simply angel-kisses to bedazzle her hide. Nekharat was a fiery chestnut, all long legs and neck and face - a bit of her make-up reminding him a little of Maslakhat and making him cautious of her in a way that their abrupt meeting had not done. "Welcome to the Dunes, Fawn." He turns, looking then to her guardian, "We will be at the Sadim soon. There will be an oasis where you can wash yourselves of the salt if it begins to irritate or itch."

He looks back towards their destination then, keeping his pace slow in the awareness of the little female who had entrusted him with her care. The dunes were not an easy walk, though he did stick to the sand ridges when they did finally meet with dunes.

When at last the home oasis of his people came into view, he whistled a stallion’s call to any who hovered around the water and in amongst the scattered palms reaching down into the sand or sipping right at the edge of the water. "Atair! Is my Wife here?" he calls to his brother, knowing him to often be guarding the Mira when she was not in the oasis he had gifted her. He did see his black brother, though Sayyida eluded him. "Fetch Aldebaran, we have new friends and a guest! Eness! Sakhmet! Shahrazad! Corona!." It was yet fall, of course, but it teetered on the edges of winter. It was due time they were all coming to gather rather than wander. The nights would be too cold if they remained apart.
