The Spokane Indian Reservation is outside the town of Wellpinit, Washington. That's the eastern part of the state. Its residents don't leave often.
Not even the weird ones.
So that's why when the front door opens and a man -- fairly average-looking, hair long and unbound -- walks in, he blinks. Mostly because there's never been a bar in Thomas Builds-the-Fire's bathroom before, but also because this place is not the Spokane reservation. It is, in fact, white. Very white.
Weird he may be, but Thomas Builds-the-Fire knows better than anybody that weird and stupid don't mean the same thing. Not all the time, anyway.
For the moment he's just standing, and looking, and listening. Because this? This is weird.
Maybe he walked into a story.

His form flickers and blurs, just for an instant - old man to younger man to bird then back to old man - and then stabilises.
