[ Julius isn't going to say that he's above sourcing water from the sand worms, but the fact is he'd also really rather not do so until the moment he absolutely has to. Which is steadily and relentlessly approaching the longer he spends out in the sun without seeing any sort of shade or shelter, so it's as he was seriously deliberating over and resigning himself to digging up a couple of the tiny worms that he caught sight of the oasis. Thank the Spirits. Or at least he would if he felt he owed them anything.
Even the splash of (unfortunately) familiar deep fuchsia had done little to dampen his relief, because really, what were the odds?
High enough, apparently. That's absolutely fine. All he needs is to get some water, and that won't take long. He can just ignore the other man sauntering up to presumably make a nuisance of himself and generally antagonize Julius, as per usual for the two of them. He's had enough practice in giving Rideaux the cold shoulder to last a lifetime, so regardless of the man starting to become more insistent in attempting to provoke a reaction out of him; Julius, you're not ignoring me, are you? Someone's looking moody today. Luckily for me, I know exactly how to fix that.
... At that, he finally looks up and glances sharply over at the other man. Rideaux of course looks impossibly self-satisfied, but what really gets Julius' attention is the other approaching figure he can spot over the man's shoulder, and this place can't possibly be serious.
Great. There are two of them.
Julius has done a lot of questionable to reprehensible things over the course of his life, but it's at this exact moment that he's certain he has to have pissed someone off. ]
