All things are possible, even the worst of things.
He is most fortunate in that he has no idea what it is like to be on a magician’s bad side. He had always made it a point to be either unnoticed or liked the magical folk (case in point, Camrynn. She apparently liked him well enough to give him some protective armor). This man however, seemed to have gotten some magician quite riled (he’s still pretty sure it would be Cam behind this one as well – this just strikes him as something she might do. And still he’d be wrong). He wonders what he could possibly have done to piss someone off so badly.
The gray stallion is not shy about throwing his weight on Shah’s shoulder. Fortunately he is a rather strapping fellow, so he only stumbles a little when the weight falls against him. The stranger is also quick to respond to his facetious comment with an acerbic quip of his own. Shahrizai bursts into laughter at the man’s repartee. Apparently he has some wit, even after conking his head on the sands.
I’ve gotta say, you’re a little lukewarm.
Grinning, he tosses a wink in the stallion’s direction for good measure. Once they reach the clear pool, the stranger takes a long drink before returning to their conversation. He finally learns the man’s name – Kushiel. As he makes his next quip, the pewter stallion’s eyebrow quirks slightly as he snorts in amusement.
You’ve guessed correctly. We hide it well, don’t you think?
At that moment, Gumby decides to make an appearance. The half-lion, half-man creatures comes bounding up to them, barking and snarling like a rabid dog. His ire seems to be directed at Kushiel. Shahrizai’s eyes widen in alarm as the sphinx settles next him, growling low in his throat, eyes fixed upon the newcomer.
Gumby! What the hell’s the matter with you?
Of course the creature doesn’t reply. Instead he stares at the gray stallion, hackles raised as he continues to growl ominously.

Ok, so Gumby is the Deserts magical protector (created by Cam). Basically he's one badass mofo who is actually a sphinx but acts like a dog.
