a great man with many scars spoke to the girl. supposing him to be the young one's father, the seal hunter nodded pleasantly to @Reyson. "i am chakliux of village moontide. that way," rightmost, "i have built an elk run with a moonglow hunter. two walls of brush and mud rise just after this woodland. the herd is there, beyond those red oak trees. they have sharp hooves and the male of the herd has been given antlers. all can kill. keep back. when they see us, they will run."
he stood apart from them now, some steps ahead. "we will race them through the trees to the run, which ends at a stream. it is deep enough to slow them, but not stop them. two of you," to reyson, to @Reyna, "will go around the run and wait for them in the water. you," motioning to salaksartok, "will follow lotus and myself. some deer will not enter the run. let them go," chakliux insisted. "trapping them will cause a panic. they will fight. you," to @Lotus, "you will fall back toward the water then, with her," the tale pale woman. "and your father will move to help me in the front." it was many moving parts, but he had seen caribou hunted just this way. it was dangerous, but if the yearling moved swiftly, she might avoid being bloodied.
he paused then, to see if questions might be had.
