Ana laughed at the jig, utterly delighted by the pantomime if only because it was so painfully true.
"I don't understand how they're functional." He agreed, sighing in relief once they moved away from the piled-on houses and buildings and were able to catch a hint of a breeze. It was even more of a relief once they were alongside the river proper, the massive waters cooling the air. It was only by a small amount, but that was more than enough for Ana, and he took the opportunity to breathe deep.
He'd have to get used to the stuffiness of the Adelan summertime at some point. But for the moment, it was okay to commiserate with a fellow child of the north. Ana sniffed and carefully itched at his nose as they passed a crop of flowering plants, but thankfully did not break into a fit of sneezing like when his people were moving through the wider grasslands of Serendipity.
Ana pulled from Segari's arm, spotting a suitable path to the riverbank. He slipped his shoes off his feet and left them in the grass, his robe pulled up and over an elbow and trousers peeled up to sit over his knees. Satisfied that he wouldn't be walking back to the others completely waterlogged, Ana made his way down to the water, stepping in just enough to cover his ankles and enjoy the water.
He looked over his shoulder at Segari and grinned, beckoning him. "It's no mountain stream, but it's lovely."
