A Joke, a Dance, and Red Cloud Mesa
There was no one to speak with, so I made my own merriment. I told a joke, then another, then a third, and then burst into dance, whether anyone watched or not.

Companions, guilds and the words exchanged on the road.
There was no one to speak with, so I made my own merriment. I told a joke, then another, then a third, and then burst into dance, whether anyone watched or not.
No one traveled with me today, but I was not in a serious mood. At the camp I told a joke, then another, then a third, and finally burst into dance. I will let the earth-mother judge whether the laughter was deserved.
At the camp I was in a merry mood. I told a joke, then another, then a third, to no one in particular, and finished by bursting into dance. The Earth Mother surely forgives a little foolishness.
There was no one at my side today, but I did not let that keep me quiet. Back at camp I told a joke. Then I told another, and then a third, and at last I burst into dance. The whole camp was my audience.
There was no one in particular to share the morning with, but I did not let that dampen my spirits. I told a joke, then another, then a third, to whoever might be listening. Then I burst into dance, hooves stamping the dust of the camp.
There was no one to speak with, but I did not let the silence weigh on me. I told a joke, then another, then a third, to nobody in particular, and finally burst into dance, as Tauren will when the heart is light.
There was no one to share it with, so I made my own cheer. Three times I told a joke to the open air, and then I burst into dance, hooves stamping the dust. A shaman may be solemn with the spirits, but a good laugh does no harm.
Nobody was there to hear me, but I told three jokes anyway, one after another, and then burst into dance. It was a light-hearted way to begin, and the camp could use some laughter.
No companions walked with me today, but I was not shy about speaking up. Back at camp I told a joke, then another, then a third. Then I burst into dance, because the day seemed to call for it.
Before I went anywhere, I stood in the camp and told a joke. Then I told another, and a third. I cannot say who laughed, but my own spirits were lifted. I finished by bursting into dance, as a Tauren will when the sun is warm and the day is young.
