Talis didn’t really know where—or if, really—he fit in with The Tribe yet. It would take some time for him to get used to living in close quarters with others. Although it was strange and uncomfortable at times, he nonetheless enjoyed this opportunity to socialize.

He really wanted to get to know the women here, particularly one called S’ari. He’d heard she was some sort of de facto leader but she had been ill for quite some time. Of course Talisman wouldn’t bother her while she was still recuperating.

The pale yearling went looking for one of the others and found Zoug instead. The large, swarthy man couldn’t have been more different from Talis’s father. Yet perhaps he could teach Talisman some things, particularly about now to navigate life in The Tribe.

Hey, Zoug, the younger coyote greeted, approaching respectfully. I’ve seen you collecting all these items and burying them. I’m sorry if this is a stupid question but… Talis blinked. Why?
