"a boy who has no people has many clearings open to him. here they will call them hearths." the pale wolf pondered the difference before continuing. 
"all the families of the village share with him. one day he chooses where he will be. he becomes a son of the clearing, brother and son to the hunters there, brother to the wife of the lodge, brother to those born next."
chakliux had only ever seen it done. he had never extended the opportunity, let alone without a lodge of his own to yet barter.
