He knows what it's like the desert, even if he didn't live out there--but his understanding doesn't extend that far, because he's never heard of any kind of "murder game" amongst the Eremites. (Then again, it's not like he's one of them, so... hrm. He doesn't like that thought, actually. He'll have to ask Nahida.)

But Kaveh has the grace to acknowledge an attempt at lightening the mood, so he gives Vash a smile--a touch awkward, but reassuring.]

I can't say I've ever had one, but they do look tempting in the picture.
