Maybe you can believe it, if it helps you to sleep.

"Well there's a lot of strange things out here."

"You can sit, if you want."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:30 pm

"Is not that strange to my kind. But skinwalking people is..." she admits, sitting down at the fire.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:31 pm

"And what do they call you?" She says, turning to look at her visitor for the first time.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:36 pm

"I am Sight-of-the-Sun." she introduces herself as she sits down. From somewhere around the waist down she seems to have the body of a bobcat or a lynx with a thick bushy tail, folded on her back are small wings and her eyes are as yellow as her name suggests.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:46 pm

"Rather poetic," she said as she looked the visitor over.

"And your people, they just accept you like this?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:50 pm

"Yes..." she says, sounding like that was a silly question. "It is... blessing. From the spirits. They know to come to me to ask advice for important choices because I have been chosen."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:53 pm

"Not everyone thinks that way."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:54 pm

"Then they are not thinking very hard."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:56 pm

"And you've been paying attention."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:02 pm

"I think harder than I sound." she tips her head. "And you avoid your kind because you do not want to hide?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:03 pm

"Just easier, sometimes. Can't relax, there."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:12 pm

She nods. "Ree-lax, feel calm and not..." She clenches her fists and arms in front of her chest. "Yes?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:13 pm

"Never threw a punch because someone was asking too many questions, but I can't say I didn't want to."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:15 pm

"No, not fight. Just feel..." she crosses her arms across her chest, tensing them.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:18 pm

She nodded.

"Can't live like that."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:23 pm

"I understand. But do you not feel alone?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:24 pm

"Suppose I do, but that can't really be helped."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:29 pm

"Is that why you hide from me?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:30 pm

"Would have been easier if you'd thought I was what I looked like."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:36 pm

She thinks for a moment, then shakes her head. "No. Would not. You are curious. They are not."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:39 pm

"Can't be this and not wonder, sometimes."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:44 pm

"And why thinking you are a man is better than this?" And how does that even--ssh! That's not very polite!

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:48 pm

"Be stranger for a woman to be out here on her own, wouldn't it?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:51 pm

"I am out here by myself."

"But maybe not making camp." she admits.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:53 pm

"And you've something to go home to."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:55 pm

"You always make camp alone?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:58 pm

"Told you, I can't relax there."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 2:02 pm

"That is very sad."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 2:04 pm

"Maybe so," she said as she stood and walked over to the pack near the horse. She took off the hat, a tumble of red hair evident now before she shrugged the duster off.

"Not like I can do a damn thing about it though, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 2:10 pm

She lets out a little gasp at the hair and immediately feels like an idiot but dammit that's unusual to her. "Fire-Hair."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 2:14 pm

"All my life. Never thought it'd be the least unusual thing about me."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 2:23 pm

"It is not. Is more unusual than skinwalking."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:03 pm

"Maybe to you, but I don't know anyone with wings."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:10 pm

"I do not either. But mine are not going to believe when I tell them of Fire-Hair the skinwalking white-skin."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:22 pm

"Then just call me Sam," she said simply.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:25 pm

"What does it mean?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:26 pm

"Short for Samantha. Don't know as it actually means anything."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:28 pm

"Okay, Samantha Fire-Hair." she smiles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:30 pm

"Fond of that part, are you?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:33 pm

"It is a good name. And you need a good name that means something."
