Mistihkoman stumbled forward as the man who had grabbed him shoves him forward. He twists during the turn and just misses the man as he bolts and out the front door. He takes a few stumbling steps before hitting Taylor. He sighs and rights himself taking the Tomahawk from the man, "My people have been fighting since the French, British, Dutch, and Spanish, since the Germans and the Scottish came here. Even since the Norsemen came before them. Fighting...is something we're good at now." He slides the knife and tomahawk away inside his vest. Looking over at the saloonkeeper to see if he'll want to take those too. Just quirking his brow. He shrugs, "I wish I could take a scalp, but I think that would be worse then stringing him up as you say."

He's about to make that descision for the group taking a step towards Logan, when the keeper pulls out those shot glasses and pours out that liquor, "Another [i]moniyew[/i] wants to talk? The last one started a fight." He looks up the stairs to the balcony curiously. He then looks at Logan, "Do we see this Grainger first, or take care of that...thing over there?" He looks around at the others who were at the table, then at the shots on the counter, "Hmmm. [i]wihkipew[/i]...well...would be rude." He walks up takes one of the shots, looks up at the balcony and calls out, "[i]Hiy hiy[/i]!" Then slams back the shot in one go.

Been awhile hasn't it?

[i]wihkipew[/i] - There is no actual word for alcohol, ie. beer, rum, whiskey, but there are words for enjoying drinks like it. wihkipew is literally "Enjoying drinking harmful drinks, ie beer, or whiskey". The concept of "Fire Water" as it comes up in American movies and media, is how a Comanche native described it in bad English one day to a trader.

[i]Hiy hiy[/i] literally means "Thank you" And is one of several Cree Words that though they look like two or more words means one thing.

Let's hope I never have to break out the longer multi-part words.
