Draco chuckled a little bit to himself, mostly at her. "I have some ration packs for us. Its a power bar, so I guess its the same as plants." He produced one of the ration bars from his pouch and extended it to the horned priestess as he walked towards the beam of light moving upwards away from the planet towards the stars. The desert they walked on was dry and sandy, the light of the nearby stars and the bright gold light of the nebula beating down on the pair as they walked. "Be careful with how much we eat and drink. We don't know if anything on this planet is edible, and I'm not carrying you if you eat something that makes you sick. That means I'd rather not run out of rations while we are here." The thought of carrying the priestess piggy back wasn't as unappealing as it could be. She was at least light, but it still wasn't something he was planning on signing up for.
Something told him they were being watched, a slight scratching presence at the very edges of his perception. Each time he pushed his senses further, the presence seemed to retract and withdraw further away, pulling back to stay just outside his perception, just on the edge so he could have the unease of being watched, without the ability to discover who or where the presence was. Whether Briga could sense it or not, he couldn't tell, but he felt the desire not to worry her. They were already pretty far up the creek, and they were losing paddles left and right. There wasn't reason to tell her there might be someone trying to take what they might have left.
"Well, you can call it An'xo if you like, but the inhabitants probably won't recognize it. I doubt they are gonna start calling themselves An'xoans because you showed up." He shook his head laughing aloud. "We should focus on not getting killed here, and name it once we leave in once piece." Draco wasn't sure whether the pair would be able to manage leaving together, alive, and with no missing pieces. Something told him they wouldn't be so lucky.
The source of light, as they approached it, seemed to be a hole in the desert floor, with light and bright orbs rising from the hole in the ground. Draco peered downward, but his eyes could not see through the light as it streamed out of the planet's interior. "Well, it looks like we have to drop down, come here." Draco held out his arms open, waiting to take hold of her so he could carry her down through the hole without her falling to her death. "Don't worry, I've flown with people before, it'll be safe. But, keep your hands up on my shoulders." He grinned, waiting for her to decide what she wanted to do.
