"True that... Although that might be just normal for them even if it might seem absurd to us if you know what I'm talking about?"
Uhura says only, "I'm afraid so..." Knowing that there isn't much to understanding how natives do things.
"We would be in a way better position if all the people that started this mission did not give up so easily."
Uhura shakes her head in agreement and then says,
"No point thinking what it could be, we just need to get out of this situation somehow."
All Major can do is shake his head in agreement.
"But how long will it take?"
He thinks some more.
Sighing at the ritual dance before him Major slumps down on one hand that is being used to prop his head. He would much rather be toting his gun trained in the bushes than watching this.
"Don't fall to sleep watching this... It might be what they want. Then when you get up you are in that."
Uhura points to the post of boiling food over on the other side.
She looks over at Major and he does look like he is dozing off.
"hey, don't leave me here alone with these people"
She nudges Major with her shoulder.
