his gaze for raiyuk was sudden and open and surprised, followed by a quick pleasure; "wa-ho!" he exulted, chuckling; had he a spear he would have dug its end into the ground and leant upon it to observe raiyuk.
"i think you are right, dutch. he will be smaller than me, and have a larger head!" the seal hunter laughed at this; he nudged his son's shoulder in pride he grew serious when the other man spoke again; he nodded once at dutch in acknowledgment. "it is best they left you in charge."
the white spine man clarified. chakliux listened closely. "this skin-walker, it sounds like taaliqqaq. shadow people. they have never been wolves. they can take any face. the sunshine wolves call them tupilaq. but selkie is like our taliillajuit, beautiful women who swim far in the sea and take the form of seals, otter, and whale."
what friend, indeed! if chakliux was correct, raiyuk spoke of a moonspear girl. seal was daughter of meerkat and njord. he had always liked her name and knew that arrangements between packs might one day bring raiyuk and seal together. it was pleasing that his seal hunter boy had befriended a seal girl, it boded well for both their futures he felt. a good omen.
