He's caught the boy's attention and feels a swell to his ego because of it; even if they don't know the history of Tartok, it is favorable to Tulimaq to be seen for what he is, and he feels as if the curiosity of the boy equates to that. It doesn't offend him that the strength of Tartok has left these wilds either — he's heard stories of his forebears coming here to continue the legacy, only to be thwarted at every turn. Maybe he's tempted by this very thing, this absence, this opposition from the land and the people.

What does a warrior do? asks the boy. Tulimaq realizes he hasn't requested his name, but doesn't feel obliged to even after the thought strikes him. He's more intrigued by the question - it seems so obvious to him that he almost doesn't answer.

When he does, he's quickly elucidating. A warrior defends their homeland, protects their people, and keeps the laws of the land intact. There was more to it than that; Tulimaq did not want to gush about the glory of war, the physical superiority one felt when they confronted an enemy, or the taste of blood — he had yet to be to war himself, but had sparred and hunted with the best of them. You're a warrior yourself, boy. You could have held back and let me pass, but you chose to confront me when I neared the stones. You have a warrior's instincts.
