Berrada: I cannot tell you where to find the Elder. You fail to understand. The Elder is not a man you find. He can only choose to find you. You wish to speak with him? Go to the edge of the desert, look up. Canis Minor, the dog that followed Orion through the sky. You follow the brightest star. Walk until you are almost dead. Then, keep walking. When you are on your last breath, he will find you... Or he will not.

- Drink.
- Don't worry, your weapon is still there.
- Please drink.

- We're not going in like the old days.
- It's just a conversation.
