The desert doesn't allow for many opportunities to garden.

[ And he's never been fond of it. Ghanima had liked the gardens, the lushness of it. ]

[moonofmylife]

No? I can't imagine so - unless you find plants that flourish in the terrain. Pinkie found me a lemon tree.

[She smiles, pointing fondly to her little sapling tree that had scarcely begun to grow properly.]

[ He looks it over in amusement. ]

Or it found her.

There is very little that does in the desert. But we have the Spice and that is enough.

[moonofmylife]

The only desert I have ever seen was called the Red Waste for a reason - nothing grew there. No one stayed there long if they wanted to live.

[Funny how that worked out. She had crossed the Red Waste into Quarth and that had nearly killed all of their horses and several of her men from Drogo's Khalesaar that hadn't abandoned her upon his death.]

What does this Spice of yours do? It doesn't sound like much of a food source.

[precedented]

It wouldn't be. Spice is the greatest commodity the universe has. It unlocks our powers, our gifts. Lets us see in the future. It even allows us to travel between worlds - explore our universe.

Life cannot exist without it.

Magic, then. Not unlike Drogon. They say Dragons walked the earth for thousands of years until they perished during the Dance of Dragons - a war between differing factions of my House.

[precedented]

What you know as magic does not exist in my universe. All my powers are skills. Unique talents cultivated over centuries of use.

[ And breeding, but that part Leto conveniently leaves out. ]

[moonofmylife]

Centuries.... I hope it isn't rude to ask just how many centuries you've lived.

[precedented]

How many seems like a difficult question. My memories extend to the dawn of civilisation. When man first began.

[ He's certainly never tried counting and history gets vague once they left Earth. ]
