Having brought his portions of the caribou carcass near to where he had last seen Kukutux, Raimo decided to bury it all for safe-keeping rather than disturb her, wherever she was. He could have found her with some hunting but that was the last thing on his mind; the mother did not trust him and seeking her out in her safe place would not help that.
The larger pieces he had dragged were deposited in a shallow grave before having loose, hard dirt packed across the top and then snow messily replaced. He had also glut himself of the remaining bone marrow and harder scrap pieces Sialuk had left behind; these he could have regurgitated, but it was the first substantial meal he had consumed in a while, even cold and tasteless as it was.
This he kept for himself, and when the work was all done, he sprawled nearby in the snow to recouperate. The nap lasted a long while; Raimo did not notice if anyone passed him by however, he was enjoying his time laying in the sunlight.
