"haha. Excellent. NOthing like riling them up even more." she moves to walk next to him. "I wonder if we have missed anything fun."

[JohnnyWeird]

"If it is like a Bear feast, there will be more dancing yet, and maybe the first of the Tall Tales." Flint Striker smiles, remembering the ever-more outlandish stories told around the ring as wine flows and the night wears on.

[Connie_the_Fire_Element]

"That is very much what will happen next. Be prepared, you are the oddity, they will wish you to tell stories." She smiles then laughs slightly maniacally - "They are going to have such the wrong impression, what with our laughing and carrying on, when we get back!"

The pair have done just what they suspected they were doing. The old ladies, and the jealous men have linked Vibrika and Flint Striker together. Tonights little trip off together has done nothing but fuel the fire of the rumors. When the pair walk back to the central bonfire they catch the whispers of men and woman, and shifted eyes.

Annapok, the man who led the hunt for the Bear and helped pull Grey Fox and Flintk Striker out of the avalanche strides up through the firelight to the two. "Welcome back to the party!" He holds a skin of Hoarwine in his hand, and his breath stinks of it. "You have missed much dancing and singing!" He hands the skin to the Bear warrior, "Drink!" His other hand reaches for Vibrika, "You don't mind if I have a dance with our Chieftain's daughter do you?" There is music playing, seal skin drums, fishbone harmonicas, and soft singing from several young girls.

The other thread is nearing its arrival. So lets just keep up the good party RP, I very much am enjoying this.

Vibrika smiles and shrugs to Flint See she thinks knowing at least this once, he can read her thoughts perfectly.

"And just why should he care? Come!" She doesn't fight Annapok, mainly as he's much larger than she is, and she knows he's harmless. She whirls away with the hunter, ready to begin dancing.

[JohnnyWeird]

Flint Striker takes a deep pull from the skin to hide his amusement. Drink, song, dancing and joy...after the avalanche he'd feared it all gone, but with the help of Vibrika he's learned to take his happiness where and when he can.

He knows the Seal woman is desirable, but there is a friendship there that makes romance seem uncouth. He imagines Telani back home and realizes, with only a hint of sadness, that he could never be as close to her. Ah well. It is a wide world; there are other girls.

Vibrika dances the song with Annapok before breaking away to get more to drink and eat. She moves through the crowd greeting people and laughing. When she gets to the single girls of age, she grabs her best friend- Hebe and pulls her towards Flint.

"Dance!" she says pushing to two towards dancing. "There is no reason for anyone to be a wallflower! Hebe- show him this dance." She moves away and grabs herself a partner to dance with and the four pair off to do the countra-dance with the others.

[JohnnyWeird]

Flint Striker is new to this particular step, but it is not for nothing that the tribes speak of 'a dancing Bear'. Soon he is laughing and clapping with the music, keeping stride with Hebe in the spin of youth and spring.

Vibrika watches Flint out the corner of her eye, as he dances with her friend. it would be nice if they were to make a match of it she thinks, having already taken a dislike to the woman of his tribe he spoke of earlier. Anyone who can speak so dispassionately about their intended was not meant for them.

She smiles at her partner and completes the final steps of the dance in perfect form. When the dance is over, she invites them all to sit and eat something. It appears that even when she is called upon to relax and enjoy herself, she still acts the hostess.

[JohnnyWeird]

Flint Striker is more than eager to sit - while he enjoyed the dance very much, no young man turns down the chance at a meal. He grins at Hebe. "Thank you for teaching me that dance! You are very graceful."
