Trade Route
"Wanderlust can be a good thing, little cub," Anoki nodded.
"Hmm..." Shanku smiled up at him. "But, did he say you almost died in the desert?"
"Indeed, his people would have died of want had they not come across us," Junaid said. "But my people would have been destroyed by the raiders had it not been for his people's Wanderlust."
"Is this why you two are here?" Doctor Newbury asked curiously. "Exploration?"
"We are here as ambassadors to establish a new trade route," Anoki explained. "Our livestock and goods for the things we need. There are some medicines and supplies hard to come by in our village. And yourselves?"
"I'm with Doctor Newbury," Shanku said simply. "For the time being."
"We're here on business," Doctor Newbury nodded. "Our trade ship has just finished selling its cargo. Perhaps one day our routes will cross and we will be carrying some of your goods as well."
"Hopefully. But we must be off now," Zos bowed with one arm over his chest. "'Twas nice meeting you."
"Likewise," Doctor Newbury nodded his head to them. "Best of luck to you, gentleman."
"And to you as well," Junaid replied as he and Zos made their way back to the inn where they were staying.
"Take care!" Shanku called after them.
Doctor Newbury nudged her. The sun was beginning to set and it was time for them to leave.

Trade Route
I'm very fond of bows. I prefer them to handshakes. You don't have to come in contact with a person when you bow to them. 
Tiny little towns on the edge of the wilderness tend to not have the resources necessary for certain medicines and technologies. Nubians are good milk goats and the horse this clan has bred is very sleek, hardy, and fast.
