Sunset Valley But he talks like a gentleman

Another clue about the sickness. Tuulu was intrigued; he looked forward to investigating further into this illness. He was also grateful to have someone here who had already been dealing with the herd. 

That sounds likely, he added. But I wonder what causes the disorientation. I'm hesitant to believe that it is just from hunger. He had seen things waste away; older creatures did not seem to suffer any neurological symptoms when starved. And the caribou's behavior seemed more too strange for that. He could tell there was more to the story. He would need to pick Lane's mind and his brother's too. He would certainly be studying more of the herd and attempting to take out anymore sick creatures he came upon. 

As they talked, he moved beside the other northerner and began to help him clean out the carcass.
