Wheeling Gull Isle The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness

Kai nods, understanding of the man's first words. They would push forward or their death would be sooner planned then originally expected. He listened further still as Nakano explains what the winter would bring, or, more so what the winter would take. He had only heard about this winter, as this would of course be his very first. 

No, no.. He shook his head, bringing himself to sound more sure of himself and this first hunt of deer. Let's do it. After, even if Malakai failed this day, he was beginning to learn. The sooner he began to practice, the sooner he would be able to effectively help Nakano in hunting the deer or catching things on his own like rabbits, birds and other red meat animals- all of which Malakai had very little experience with. 

Already, due to Nakano sticking around when all others had left when things went sour, he had a respect from the young boy. Soon, he would go to trust him fully, as it would be he which would help Kai to survive, where now his parents had failed.
