[ Cassian is perched just outside one of the furthest tents of the caravan, out of the blazing sun as he reads over the vellum scroll in his hands several times, trying to memorize it. Only once he is done so does he put it away and pull the silver pendant out of his clothes to send a message to the rest. ]

So, I am still fairly new here. Finding my feet.

Surely there is a way to be useful? A way to earn a credit or two?

I’ve heard that there are things in the desert, that can be found by those with sharp eyes. But are they even worth the retrieval, I wonder? Who would even want them?

I imagine whoever mentioned those things in the desert might want them, because it's not like the lot of us are walking around eager to trade trinkets in this whole mess.

[allforthecause]

Until I know what’s a trinket or not, how can I know if they’re worth trying to trade?

And even in a mess like this, people need to live and work, right?

[reparo]

I suppose my question is, who'd buy them off you? Unless you're looking to trade for something that's not coin - to be fair, that might be more useful in the desert.

As long as people aren't expecting you to trade for water. If that happens, come see me and I can fill your waterskin myself.

[allforthecause]

No, no. Our hosts have been more than kind.

And I’m always happy to barter. Things that aren’t useful to me can be useful somewhere else - and the other way around.

Need to get myself a weapon.

[reparo]

Ah, a weapon. What kind of a weapon are you looking for?
