Verdigris Ravine we both knew it was true

Civilizations fall and empires crumble, S'ari wanted to say, but for once, she was uncharacteristically quiet. And if the warning was for her, did that make her the hen or the snake? Which was worse? She stared out into the night, lost in thought for a few moments. Somehow, Qiao coming here felt like a bad omen, but that wasn't fair to her. Tribe was Tribe.

S'ari Redsand... she repeated, quietly. Coyote likes that. She studied Qiao as the other dipped her head for a drink. Remember you are welcome here. Even with all your prophecy. Come again. She sat and waited there, seeing the woman off.

Last from me! Thanks for the thread!
