“Where are we going?” Gen yells, the sand catching in his throat. “Aksum,” is his answer. “Can't you go a litle slower?” “No.” The voices fade away into the darkness, and there is someone – or is it something? on their trail.
The moon sinks.

“Are we there yet?” “No.”
“Are we there yet?” “No.”
“How about now?” “Does it look like we're there yet?” “You said Aksum was an invisible city.” “I didn't mean literally.I mean you can't find it anywhere on a map.” “Oh.”
“Are we there yet?” “No.”
“Are we close?” “No.”
“How about now?” “Would you stop asking that?! No!”
A few moments later -
“I'm bored.” “Go find a scorpion to piss off.” “...Scorpions bite.” “So do I.”
Gen shut up.

“Will the Silent Rose mind?” “Mind what?” he asks, not really paying attention, attempting to mend the ripped strap of Gen's backpack. “Me joining them.” “You were part of them once before, weren't you?” “I abandoned them.” “...How will the Firestarters react to you having...teamed up with me?” “Outcast me. Be angry. Set stuff on fire.” “...The Silent Rose will welcome you back.” “Okay. Thanks.”
He's quiet for a long period of time, and Snow starts to wonder what's wrong when he looks around and sees that Gen has actually gone to sleep.

“Where'd you get your name?” “It's a symptom of the weather.” replied Snow, disgruntled. “No, I mean, where'd you get your Name?” Snow glanced at his companion. “No one knows where their Name comes from,” he says cautiously. “Oh.” says Gen, and his face falls.
