Mm, whoever recommended the aloe, it's perfect. One of the nomads who's guiding us happens to have quite a supply of it, though I can't imagine she ever burns, her skin is so dark. She was all too happy to lend me some, once she understood what I was asking for. She speaks little Trade, it seems. Luckily enough, Gareth is fluent in Atsirian, so once he heard my attempts to ask for it, he translated for me.
I have to say, not knowing the language here is shaping up to be quite the problem, for more reasons than just asking for aloe. I see the way the girl looks at Gareth, and while I have to say that my own estimation of him is no higher than hers, it would certainly be nice to communicate it. Perhaps we can come to some agreement -- I'll teach her Trade, and she teaches me Atsirian. I hope she'll agree. She seems like an interesting woman.
