Caden
Now that he'd lured her to the idea, he has to appropriately caution her. "You have to come very prepared when you do, the desert is unforgiving and easy to get lost in. There's a reliable charter company I can give you the name of if you'd like." Plentiful scam ones too, and he'd hate to see her hurt or lost out on the sands trying to find the vision of beauty he knows lies to the east.
She makes it sound so easy, to be part of a community without truly settling. And maybe it really is that easy, but to Caden it feels like his solitary ways are a giant cloud over his head that he can't imagine ever getting out from under. "I guess you're right. I was thinking of heading to the Greatwood for a little while next - but maybe I can come visit you in Halo? Or take you to the Oasis myself." Shrugging slightly - not exactly self-conscious but almost boyishly embarrassed - Caden smiles her way. "See? I'm already trying my hand at this whole making real friends thing."

Though I know my heart will break
I'd still tell the surgeon to put it back in
