It's too hot and too sunny.

It'll cool off in a couple of months.

[She puts her head down in his lap] Yes. Once autumn approaches I will not be so weak.

I must travel soon

There's no such thing.

There is.

No way! Spring was cold and wet. Winter was cold and snowy---this is the best time of the year! Sun! Heat! Dry!

It should be like this all year.

I shall welcome Winter's return.

....why?

It's so....bleak.

It's quiet and everything is still, but not bleak. Not at all.

Depression rates skyrocket in the winter.

Why dontchya like summer? Everyone is so happy!

So?

As I said. It is too hot and too bright.

You....wouldn't last long in the desert.

*The djinn felt bad for her.*

I would not be happy. No.

[He strokes her hair] You need to take it easy- where are you going?

I don't know where. Not yet. But I must find a lost village.

What do you know about it?

I have a map of sorts. Across the sea, next to an old forest.

Near an old village?

Yes. I have been asked to find it. And I can find any path I need to.

Need me to go with you?

No. I have no need.

But I welcome the company.

Good, I want to go with you. Wish I had your talent of finding paths.

It is a gift I was given when I was born.

When will you be able to leave?

Any time. I'm on leave for the next few weeks.

We should leave soon then. We can follow the moon. It will be cooler at night.
