Two Eyes Cenote (ap) nukatpiak

Raiyuk eventually found his way back to @Seal, who seemed to have become the center of attention to a party of girls their own age; when he saw this he grew abruptly shy and withdrew to the wall, and from there he could watch and listen and try to make up his mind on what to do next.

A coyote carrying foodstuffs drifted by him, and while the smells were tantalizing they were foreign, and he was not so brave as to reach out for a taste. Another came opposite with shells full of drink and morsels of cactus water, which earned a similar curiosity-rivaling-concern.

Finally he turned from the wall and began to wind his way among the other visitors to the cenote. There were men and women of varying ages and distinction, and not so many boys his age from what he could discern. He missed his village desperately then, and thought of his father's hunt, and how he should have been there proving his worth rather than here with all these people and their strangeness.
