[ But the real question is, how would anyone tell a mop from what he has now? ]

Egypt could be humid, if you were in the Delta... not so much farther out. People always think a desert must be dry, but it's not always.

[There is an art to the hair mop. Or something. He'd look a bit odd with a straight cut.]

That makes sense, I guess. Lots of water evaporating in the heat. It can get pretty cold at night, though, right?

[ Feeling that Pepper wasn't actively snipping at the moment, Bakura nodded. ]

For almost half the year, around October through May. Cold enough that you don't want to be outside without suitable clothes or a fire.

[ He'd had some of those frigid nights; they weren't pleasant. ]

[She pauses to check the length on a section and then continues.]

Yeep. Maybe you should teach me how to start a fire without a lighter, in case I ever visit.

[Of course she wouldn't remember, but that was besides the point.]

Pepper Potts, aspiring wilderness expert?

[Pepper laughs and shakes her head, though he can't see behind him.]

Nah. Being here just reminds me that sometimes knowing that basics isn't a bad idea. I mean, Tony would probably try to automate the whole thing, but you never know when it can come in handy. Like learning to drive with a manual transmission even if you have an automatic. Useful.

[denyamenti]

If it's something I know, I can teach you. You're on your own for driving, though.

[lasergrenades]

Oh, don't worry, I'll save that for my dad. He'll probably be worried I drive like I fly.

Fire could be cool, though. Maybe we can go camping and you can show me how to survive the barren wilderness of Tu Vishan.
