A forced march through the night.
Early the next day, everyone came to rest on the shaded side of a sand dune, had some dry rations, and along this forced march, everyone discovered that Tiger Girl was like any other unaffected person, her frail body seemingly possessed with endless strength. She was also very familiar with the desert. After spending the night together, everyone grew much closer, and the terms of 'brother' and 'sister' were sweetly exchanged. She was a very sensible child, and everyone quickly grew fond of the little girl.
