Bedouin Trading Post

When they arrived at the trading post the girls were immediately swept away by local women to get new clothes. The women began giggling when Krista removed her robe and was clad only in her thin thigh high nightie.

Evy was given a lovely black dress with a matching veil with gold designs running along it, while the women gave Krista a beautiful two piece outfit. A pair of white harem pants with a gold belt around it, and a matching white long sleeve top that parted right above her belly button, the top had gold lining the edges of the top as well as on the cuffs. And they paired it with a matching scarf to cover both the top of her head and the bottom of her face.

Once they women were finished dressing the girls, they brought them over to sit down so they could begin fixing their hair and lining their eyes with coal

Once they women were finished dressing the girls, they brought them over to sit down so they could begin fixing their hair and lining their eyes with coal.

Finally the women were finished pampering the two girls and led them out of the tent. Krista could hear Jonathan and Rick nearby talking and she turned to look in their direction.

"We could have had them for free; all we had to do was give them your sister." Rick said to Jonathan

"Or you're wife," Jonathan replied cheekily, "awfully tempting, wasn't it?"

Rick finally seemed to notice the girls walking towards them and stopped to stare at how beautiful his wife looked, "Awfully."

Krista blushed at his attention and sent him a wink as she sauntered over to him and placed a sweet kiss on his lips. Neither noticed Evy glaring at the two.

Rick helped Krista get situated on her camel and made sure they had everything they needed, before they began their journey.

They had been riding through the desert for a few hours and Jonathan had made it his mission on this trip to drive everyone crazy with his incessant talking.

"Never did like camels, the filthy buggers. They smell, they bite, they spit; disgusting." He complained from atop his camel, and Krista rolled her eyes at him. He was such a delicate flower.

The warden was sitting a ways away from every one else, his smell kept bringing on bouts of nausea in Krista so Rick made him move, and he was savagely attacking a chicken wing with his vile green teeth. Flies buzzed around his head. He sucked at his gums, and then spit out some gristle into the sand.

Rick looked at him, "Yeah, disgusting." He mumbled loud enough for only Krista to hear.

She grimaced at the sight before turning to her brother, "Don't worry Jonathan that camel probably likes you just as much as you like it."

Jonathan nodded his head distractedly until he caught on to what she had said, "Oy! I'll have you know, Krissy dear, that I am a very likeable person."
