Whitefish River xi innaktuk (1)

The sight of the patchwork creature that comes upon Kigipigak makes him do a double-take, as he has never seen such an amalgamation upon one body. He wonders next if the stranger is some beastly thing of legend, but does not remember much about the fantastical tales the elders sometimes shared. 

Kigipigak stared as they walked closer. When they spoke it was with the common tongue of the region. His name was long and confusing, as was the title of this village.

Ah, I think yes! Kigipigak answers. I come in search of... women. That wasn't right; he didn't know how to phrase this request or explain things right in this language. I come from mountains. I am Kigipigak, and I hunt for friends for my tribe. My.. New tribe.

Oh, he was botching this wasn't he?
