Liniwa looked at the book that was thrown over the fence and in the snow. But even though he was going to say something, Rose was already gone. He sat there for a moment, wondering what it was he was going to do now. Clearly he couldn't take the book back to the Tribe, they'd know where he'd been. And the scarf, what was he to do with it? Or in his eyes, what was it? Taking the book, he wrapped it up in the scarf and stashed it under the roots and in the hollow of a tree. He'd come back for it at some point to try and decipher what Rose had given him. Putting his knife away in his satchel and putting the wolf carving in the hollow of the tree with the book, he stood up and headed back to the Tribe.

Over the week, Liniwa would return back to that same place, sit up in the trees and try to read each word, pronounce it, speak it. Often times he would get frustrated, and only chose words that he thought were easy. So his language selection was very minimal but enough for conversations and such. And soon enough when that week had ended, Liniwa was slowly making his return back up the hill to the fence, sitting there and waiting for Rose. Though, he wasn't alone, because someone had followed him. It was GoldenWing, a guy from the tribe. He looked to be spying on Liniwa, wondering what the fool was doing up on the hill. He smirked, coming out of his hiding spot, "Liniwa" he approached him. Liniwa was surprised to see someone had followed him here, and the two started talking to each other in their native language. "What are you doing here so close to Wasichu soil?" GoldenWing spoke. Liniwa was quiet, not saying anything to him. "You were watching the Wasichu, weren't you... I thought Chief said clearly that we are prohibited up on this mountain?" The two were arguing now, GoldenWing shouting and yelling at Liniwa. Even taking the chance to intimidate him by pushing him. "You think you are all high and mighty because you are the Chief's son?" Liniwa then knew that was the nerve ticking response to trigger him, "I am not his son... You know this! My father left me!" "Well he was stupid to do that! You need some sense knocked into you! If nobody is around to do it then I'll do it myself!" he snapped angrily.
