Her tale coincided with what he'd witnessed, so he knew she was being truthful.
The tale told him she was a hardy creature to have lived upon a mountain and then somehow survived its ruin, and so far the girl he'd met — the daughter — had managed to keep them both alive on her own. These were strong people with more stories hidden between them.
The woman looked to the mountain and the dizzying sky.
Raimo watched her; he did not care if she noticed, she could not stop him. As she bowed her head he took a breath and finally got to his feet, as if he had decided something.
The snow crunched, and he stepped over the broken wing with more care than he'd given the rest of the bird, moving beyond it. Leaving it there as if forgotten.
