one fremen perched up on the rock gave a disapproving glare to the outsiders
another jumped down towards stilgar and spoke something in fremen.
"he's asking why we're so late." mili yells paul.
they continue speaking in fremen. the fremen man glares at paul.
"he thinks your spies." chani says.
"he also says you're not welcome here." chani continues
"i got that. thanks." paul says, smiling a little
chani just looks at the boy before huffing and turning her attention away.

as paul walked into the sietch, he couldn't help but notice the intricate designs engraved into the walls. some being art, some being words. it was beautiful.

"sietch tabr." stilgar introduces.

some were screaming at the outsiders, others were just wailing at the sight of jamis being wrapped up.
some yelled. "you killed jamis!" while others yelled "spies!" or "witch!" to the two.

everyone sat around the sietch, eating their meals. mili devouring hers as she hadn't ate in the past few days.
