[Efforts to teach the Nalawi are a good experience, Haise believes, even if some of them are understandably resistant. He can't fault them their optimism, though it's difficult to hear when he knows they're wrong. Those abilities they've relied on are gone now and they won't be returning.

But he does ensure that he tells them Nalanni's message. Some believe him, others question and doubt. If he'd met the goddess, where was she now? That's likewise not surprising, but he hopes they'll remember the words. At some point, he suspects they'll need them.

With this first lesson behind them, Haise follows her over to one of the little pools, taking a seat beside her once she's settled. He won't need any food himself, and he'll have to find a polite way to decline if she offers, but for now...]


I thought you were very informative, so... I'm sure the effort won't go to waste.

[And what's more, it's something the Nalawi can make good use of in the future]

Glad to assist, if I can.

[It's a response that buys him a few moments to think, when presented with a piece of beef jerky. Even with his sense of smell dulled, the scent is acrid to him. By now he's well-practiced in masking the revulsion that human food prompts from his body.

While Haise understands it's pleasant to others, what he knows should be a smoky aroma is instead something resembling burned rubber. And since they're traveling together today, he'd be hard-pressed to find a moment alone to throw it back up before it made him too ill to function.

Perhaps it will be as simple as declining Olivia's offer to share a meal]


...Thank you, but I'm not hungry. I wouldn't want to waste your supplies.

[At least it's true...]
