Generally speaking, if dehydration symptoms occur, ordinary recovery would take several days at the fastest to recuperate, but Claudia was surprised that by the time the sun began to shine on the desert, she felt her body had mostly recovered.
Perhaps it was the effect of the camel milk tea she drank last night—after all, it was made by these Bedouins, and they have lived in the desert for generations, naturally knowing a lot of useful things.
Claudia could only think in that direction; she couldn't possibly say that it was because the camel milk tea was enchanted by her new classmate, which is why it had such magical effects, could she?
She opened the tent flap and saw a golden hue on the horizon by the sand dunes; Claudia stretched lazily, thinking that perhaps she had been scared senseless yesterday; as an atheist, how could she possibly have such thoughts.
"Um… you, have you been here all along?"
