Summer Jessamin made her way over to the pale face with the wild and semi scary hand motions. She went and stood in front of him, trying to copy his hand motions. Maybe they could make more sense that way...

Moema watched the pale faced man with curiousity from the trees. He seemed a little confused and she wanted to help this poor soul. Coming to a new place where practicly no one understands you must be hard. Emerging with Streak she headed towards him warily.
Eachann shook and Molimo leaped from his back in surprise. Seizing the opportunity, the brown stallion headed towards the grazing mare, Molimo running blissfully behind him.

Summer Jessamin and Moema seemed to both be on the same track, of unlocking the mysteries of the arm-waving pale-face. She called to Moema, "I want to ride his horse, too..." She thought maybe the one who already had a horse friend would know what to do...

By this time, Geoffrey was on quite the tangent. It was unlikely that even the other settlers understood everything he was saying. He moved his hands about as he spoke, looking more like a street mime than an intelligent young physician as he finished his exposition on the healing properties of sage. "..So, in short, what I do is I research diseases and heal the wounded or ill patients through the knowledge of..." His voice trailed off and his face contorted into a confused look as he scratched idly at his head. "None of you understood a word of this, have you?"
He watched the girl copy his moves for a moment before sighing quietly. "I give up!"
Lady finally looked up from the juicy grasses to notice a new pair of strangers making their way closer to her. She smiled cordially and tipped her head as if to bow. She offered the male a curious glance, especially at his cropped mane, which to her resembled that of a young colt. "Hello there!"

Summer Jessamin was trying very hard not to giggle as she mocked his frustration. After a moment of calm, however, she tried to ask him if she could ride his horse. She did this the same way she did the other pale-face, by offering him a peice of venison jerky.

Moema turned her attention to the other native. "I wouldn't do that just yet." She tried to listen to what he was saying, but all she could make out was heal and wound. With ankward look she said, "Healer?" while pointing at him. Streak sat and warily stared at the man.
Eachann tipped his head at her and replied, "Hello." He looked her over, eyes staying a little too long on the awkward thing on her back. Molimo pranced up to the mare and tried to paw at the straps hanging from her body before falling over on his back.

"But I got to ride the other horse..." Summer Jessamin said to Moema, pouting slightly. She was still gunna offer this other pale face the jerky, anyways...

((Did Moema say that in English? xD;;;;;.. Also, what is Molimo?))
Geoff accepted the gift gratefully and sniffed at it before giving it a taste. It took some pulling for him to bite off a piece of the leathery meat, but he was grateful for the sustenance (which he made apparent by letting out a loud 'mmmmmm'). He made sure to keep an eye on this bit of food, lest his opportunistic horse take advantage of his absent-mindedness again.
He raised his brows at Moema and smiled, pointing to himself with excitement. "Yes! Healer! Exactly!"
The golden mare eyed the thing pawing at her with wide-eyes. Having spent most of her time on the Clarke estate in stables and empty fields, her awareness of other creatures was limited. She twitched inquisitively before glancing back up to Eachann. "What.. Is it?"

Summer Jessamin was being a little more cautious, this man still seemed on edge. She was now going to try using his hand motions things. She pulled out another peice of jerky from the pouch on her waist, she pointed to the jerky and to him. She then pointed to her and his horse. She wondered if this would really make any sense at all...

((Molimo's a bear and I dunno xD I never read if they were speaking a certain language or not xD;;;;; ))
Moema giggled a little at the loud display to make sure they understood him. She pointed to herself and said. "Moema." then pointed at him and waited.
He looked at her quizicly for a second, then to the fallen Molimo. "Oh, Molimo? He's a black bear." He left out the back story, she didn't need to know the bear had found them because of her master's company.

[Midnight][Blaze] ((Molimo's a bear and I dunno xD I never read if they were speaking a certain language or not xD;;;;; ))  ((we have been fighteing a language barrier between the indians and the settlers. that the other can't understand our language. however, some people are attempting to learn phrases back and forth. like names, and single words...))

((The Kawani speak Cherokee, and the settlers speak English. So was she picking up on his English and repeating it, or picking up on his English and saying the Cherokee equivalent? xD;;;.. If you meant the latter, then I think I messed it up, xD;;;;.. ))
Geoff blinked a few times to make sure he understood the native girl. Did she want to trade some of this food for Lady?.. Margaret would be most displeased with him if she found out he sold her prized pet for a piece of dried meat. But would it offend these people for him to reject the offer? He shook his head and smiled politely. "I'm sorry, she's not for sale."
He turned to the other and nodded, repeating her name before pointing to himself and saying his own. "Geoffrey."
Lady flicked an ear forward. "Black.. Bear?"
She leaned her head down to get a closer look at the furry animal, smiling wide. "Hello, Mo-li-mo!"
((By the by, just warning you ahead of time.. I've got to get to bed by 1AM EST.. So, I've got about 50 minutes left, xD;; ))
