their scent was in the air, though he could not hear them, and his elation was clear. dutch signalled that they should move on and the seal hunter came, his steps jaunty and pleased. "I see that ariadne and kilgitsuk have gone to moonglow. raiyuk and i will wait here until they return, and then if you are ready, dutch, we will go."
a wry look was mischievous on his face. "i will stay here if you wish to go to moonspear before we leave on our hunt. but tell us what selkie is?"
