Rabbit bows a little. [Language unknown: "U ac litate te, een lin adlo ulwhi. Nc ionil traad our ain ousit oventenot man hoilos, haonin man of lese ee Estavefor, strol iece adare olwi?"]

Crazy Horse nods. [Language unknown: "Allmanion Tra...he son sien ho nihas. A i reaevecon a ndeingion erlois. K moalne inro m his m sa paie arpona."] He nods again. [Language unknown: "Il ntsan il lo. M annd loas omfono poera er, rewit nti men ceacen inil si ven e trekun art eniou."] He returns his attention to the large pile of meat being prepared.

[Language unknown: "E oun resfortic linos hion lind n Int, usilet Ncemenast,"] Rabbit offers. [Language unknown: "T oul elstr ou lillle ncar iveeveiou o Ceesth Aspo."]

The statement of things to do gets a proper bow.[Language unknown: "Sa ch wer Noin oul u wa ntres,"] Rabbit says, and goes to do so.

A half hour later...

Kang frowned when he saw the head, but noted that it was not a jiang shi. He postulates that it may have been some form of Harrowed (he uses the term gui ren), and probably came from among the guards he had posted around Devil's Tower to keep the paha wakansica in and everyone else out. He dispatches some of his men to question those guarding the tower, and asks if he may send the head with them.

Rabbit notes to enquire further as to what a Graced might be at some point, and most respectfully suggests the head be sketched, or an impression made in the mountain's abundant clay then baked. That way no suspicion of removing evidence might arise to taint the warlord's Face, and his loyal guardsmen would not have to endure the stench of a head that might be even less recognisable after some time in a sack.

Kang sees this as an imminently reasonable suggestion, and asks Rabbit to make it so.

Rabbit makes it so, mostly by enlisting the help of the enforcer party to make an accurate death mask, then returns the head to its place.

It's later than she had hoped by the time Rabbit gets to wash her hands a lot and seek out Horn Chips, but nonetheless still morning.

There seems to be a gathering of some sort near the Ghost Dancer's camp. A group of Lakota and Dakota are gathered around a man with an intense stare, wearing a white fringed leather shirt adorned with turquoise birds and stars. He's waving another, similar shirt around as he speaks.

[Language unknown: "Nt undionweroul!"] The man says, looking at the crowd with an intense stare and a wide grin. [Language unknown: "Comsomave!

And then he pulls a pistol from out behind his back. [Language unknown: "Ich!"] he says at the gasps of astonishment and alarm among the gathered groups. He waves the pistol by the barrel, butt out to the crowd. [Language unknown: "I chno ennc! Ec to hiei anss ha thaionvor he nd, rosan eve ven urers omiou Be nce tr een ssulek!"]

Rabbit pauses and watches the stranger, tense and wary of a Ghost Dancer not yet met addressing a crowd, then trots over and makes a small bow in greeting.

[Language unknown: "Inewheersome...alevol ispack ereras ribut e Virwernot Etutom esssonwer t romtedrut fidiutdi aiwil? E at la, ne, rifoee heisat ome Wheersain Me, on tio: ho hare setughome larnc fourri wasthiast a but usutloic ers."]

The stranger in the shirt laughs. [Language unknown: "Ncicce Ngncen m nc ckatta! No ei tin icmo."] he turns back to the crowd. [Language unknown: "Venus, ome kor il thoentnot!

Most of the gathered people look nervous, but there are a few who are nodding their head wistfully.

The penny drops as to who this is, though Rabbit's trust is, as ever, in short supply. "Ah! But Crazy Horse much want see how well the shirt work, Kicking Bear - it good ask him to shoot at you. Then he see it, and not come here for suddenly shooting and see one these good people holding gun," Rabbit gestures at those gathered, who probably hadn't thought of that.

"-and he had him gun before: less chance for bad aim or to hit people near when it jump off the shirt. Much people look when Crazy Horse do the thing, it good way for show that."

[[Persuasion? 10:02, Today: Tan Xiaohan rolled 7,3 using d8,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 7,3.  some gun control, please.]]

Kicking Bear considers this a moment. [Language unknown: "Ate...ll! Yinwerwilthe ekncen Neekca Aletnt...n tril kor wima! St, ent stri witch evesi terre theen unommi ileiho at str pendre Tiostrion Aiceis u omet whi...li!"] He looks out at the crowd. [Language unknown: "I isho kornceshe! Alnglo tra all asnoro plver! One mepl ti dinen cafo omcaun ul usun Korenciou Illounoer!"]

He sticks the gun down his trousers (a very dangerous place to keep it, Rabbit notes...he might blow off something viatl if the gun goes off unexpectedly) and rushes off.

The people around Rabbit begin muttering to each other after he's gone.

[Language unknown: "Hatfi k waone wit hast oreersugh? Ev re ou wer tatr u erli lar?"

"Pa urusou onebleare rutilltho lose? E ngos m ereeveder pl tin Heven Unrowe...icame t blelesoul at eraei, Ou poroev ous ineck Ca Oslaha hasce chome prch rosi andet!"

"Ai ant all oneni. Omicch Son oreni tho dinichiou pronck, A stihereve. Eewh Stnese Ersthahou m forsetenc."]

Rabbit breathes out and rubs the back of her neck, then tries to get the small crowd's attention. [Language unknown: "Na en maek: Ul peei hierth siesec pr venpe kor ivinno le a,"] the small Chinese Ghost Dancer assures them.

[Language unknown: "O asekit, an, lofo anwe in ven ant haceouma hion, onfolo ta etek," ]Rabbit adds, then gestures about the camp where these folk came from. [Language unknown: "A ntou tiine hahis hacael rea isntni ted thunt enwise behint, ilte encmenson ofev sseniv, ch tr elurceei. Ceee lar er st k ol Oulingenc Peprac oneichbut ofur ithentthehat, i unfo ca pe."]

The gathered crowd seems to be listening to Rabbit (or at least paying attention to her very loud shirt, which looks somewhat like one of the Ghost Shirts, if some odd colors). Some nod, and start heading off to spread the word.

Horn Chips, observing from the side, walks up to Rabbit. His face is strangely stiff, as if he's struggling with several different emotions at once and trying to keep all of them from his face. "Hau." he says stiffly. [Language unknown: "As tr om notsanund."]

"Hau," Rabbit responds, bowing, immediately set on the alert by the honoured elder's body language. [Language unknown: "Er treino Na com ut naand nence but daywe, Tr naar po watha ul Ortlatint Res ie wasel ek ateanyman Witounhas Anyma, alis...a, ive dileic."] Rabbit bobs, forcing herself to cut off excuses.

[Language unknown: "I."] Horn Chips says. His eye twitches a bit. [Language unknown: "Na ess. O mowhe lesomethabut plwein waer ol, asnc resri hat fi er tinsonrut pro Fiac Ousourint It elwil ne menon tamo t hallpa dinil nc."]

Rabbit briefly meets the elder's gaze, tone quiet. [Language unknown: "Acdi Etstal strectera sonio?"]

The shaman nods. [Language unknown: "Lo io. I din meen ilni res ardthevenoul nt tr Eensi Estwhevor Ven atet si reng."] Twitch, twitch, twitch.

Rabbit rubs at her neck uneasily and swallows. [Language unknown: "Oshaee Ceulen Al hatingiou ore sitr u the Wi wiere evom u hashaster om, road Ileind etaiious ecicmi...re nc, pe sa usaial, oreforame no chpo ta Evonwh Tiodersta si ul aiin i u een eckor Ingallhas Virne ticom con yinmo trfi methu icomon a st lin i ou rut is...I oning ore ngunar re artanynde ble ri, ticthiica."] Rabbit shrugs.

[Language unknown: "Ad li ofstck weicla, rom sill ng?"] Rabbit asks with clear honesty, as ready as she'll ever be to do this, even in public if he chooses to.

[Language unknown: "Astaveort. N laurol En ur ove ainderour ol is wiof ticndeith eenreated."] He says. Twitch, twitch, scowl. He waves a hand toward his teepee, his motions curt and harsh.

Rabbit winces at the catastrophic failure of her intent to tell him first, and automatically flinches a little at the sudden head-height movement, quickly obeying.

She settles kneeling on the blanket at the most humble - and easiest to escape from -  place near the door, trying to keep a tight grip on the fear. Breathe.

[Language unknown: "Star Pr missle?"] she asks after a respectful pause when Horn Chips enters. Again, the question is genuine, Rabbit's small shoulders tensed to endure any beration he feels required beforehand.

[Language unknown: "Ne int."] Horn Chips says. [Language unknown: "A thi ho tioonenti sonnotoulanddin t ut ncthi seet p has."] He takes a seat across the tent from her.

Rabbit bows and composes herself. [Language unknown: "Ch sstapa ntad, wiulul adtoei."

"M ich sanonetic ieion whe ainou ughoutwil: O trroal K a arolmi erestiortousave ivfime.

Rabbit licks dry lips and presses her hands against her knees to disguise the trembling. [Language unknown: "Ai Tr ho al ore amewh, t oudick, at st...urri niio pe, pe ortleswer ssone ingingsti oneateent k U no ave ntalta hi U ta usnetr ntiatirut m Es rut ni saer.

Rabbit gives a soft, slightly shivering sigh, addressing the floor-mats.

It is not my shame. Breathe.

"Ee pro pali k son yin eniou eier iouectter,"] she reminds gently, and waits for the reaction, subtly tensing to flee if necessary.

[Language unknown: "I hat."] Horn Chips says after she finishes. He says nothing more for a long, long time. Finally, he sighs.
