Groaning, Shanna closed the books she'd been poring over and consigned them to the chest she'd taken them from. As nervous as she was about living in Morentia the next few years, as eager as she was to improve and expand her knowledge so she wouldn't make a complete fool of herself in front of her future in-laws, she could not concentrate in the positively unbearable weather. "Oh, my goodness, this heat." She collapsed on the soft bed set up in the corner of their large, mercifully cool and shady tent. "How do you survive in this? I will never adjust. I will melt long before."
Kallaar and Ahmla laughed, the horrible beasts.
