Traveling in a cage through a desert is not an easy thing. And the reason because of that was the quality of the cage that Arvin was sitting in. There was a suspension in the cage. So Arvin was able to feel every bump and every stone that came in the way of the cage. And that was very very annoying and frustrating.
The second thing that was annoying about this travel was the absence of a bathroom. It was expected by a cat-like cougar that he would piss and poop in the carriage and stay there with his feces. That was very disgusting as Arvin noticed later that the cage was littered with feces of the cougar that he killed. It was very smelly and the fact that the cage was covered with cloth didn't help at all.
But some parts of this journey helped Arvin stay calm and cool. And that was the part the camels pulling the cage were following behind the camels of Xander and its men. There was no carriage driver. That gave Arvin a little bit of freedom…
