Her hair was so black that he said it was spun of the night, and it shone so starrily like a beautiful night that it sometimes that it lulled the bisons to sleep. Most bison-riders are huge men who bring their bisons to heel with their physical strength but Buroa calmed them down and seemed to understand them on a deep level.
