[You know she almost, almost signed on for that one mission. A guard, surviving, she knew she could handle it. But then when she saw that "desert" thing. she has no idea what a desert is, so today she is at the library researching that, mostly because she really doesn't have much better to do today. She is clearly in a better mood though- all her earrings are in place (one of them she even thinks might be gold) and she she has a shiny nose stud in place. But... as she learns more and looks into these things more-

..Jesu.

She's gotten over being afraid of the sun (somewhat) in Luceti, mostly because of how dreary winter is, but that desert that... she flips open her journal]

Hey, Luceti. Talk to me 'bout the sun. Some of you got tales for it, right? Gotta.

[Feel free to answer her or see her in the library]

Sunburns.

[she's hearing this a lot. The way she says it ... she's almost amused. In a grimly ironic sort of way]

Ultraviolet rays, the downside of the sun. Skin burns if it's overexposed to UV rays. But there's stuff you can put on for protection. Sunblock, keeping covered, not being in the sun for too long.

How long's too long?

[shadedsunlight]

Depends how hot it is and how fair your skin is. Paler people tend to burn faster. That's why you're supposed to put on sunblock if you'll be out in the sun for more than a few hours.

[makeitquick]

and that's it - sunblock and all's spled?

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

Pretty much. Companies have gotten better at improving the formula and everything so they last longer and some are waterproof and all. Still a good idea to try to stay in the shade or out of the sun, but if you had to be outside for a long period of time, I'd go with sunblock and sunglasses to protect your eyes.

[And just that much words. Jesu, how nice would that be]

Not expensive?

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

Not really. It's a pretty common thing where I'm from. I've seen it here too, during the summer.

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

Wore some here.

[In Fall.

But... nnngh.] Convenient, if that's all.
