Gilda just nodded at him, not making any comments as the sand in her throat was irritating it. She placed her hand over her mouth as coughed heavily, hoping she wouldn't get an infection at this time. She was stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a child and if she got sick, they'll both have been royally screwed. She grabbed the map from the inside of the passenger sheet and opened it up for the boy's viewing. She circled a nearby town as she wrote on it, "I apologize for not being able to speak ,the sandstorm got the better of me. Do you wish to travel here; I'll drop you off there?" She looked around as she heard a distant inhuman laughter of a hyena's but she'll ignore it for now.
