Tuktu Weir and these three men made a solemn vow

he murmured nothing but agreement, now preoccupied with sawing away at meat to take back to brook. once his jaws were free, he smiled, giving vein a solemn nod. i think you must be right, aditya said. though sometimes i think everything is predestined in one way or another. it was good to hunt with you today.

belly fuller than he thought it would be today, he left the scene with food to spare, excited to tell his daughter about the success out on the plains. perhaps they all would hunt in one pack, some day. it wasn't in aditya's plans as of now, but if push came to shove. . .

ah. long time to ponder that, yet.
