Hoshor Plains [m] bird song

Raiyuk and Seal shared one look before they were both facing the child, and in that next instant Raiyuk was glad to hide himself behind her, and use his body to block the view. The sounds reached a crescendo and then there was a lull; but the boy focused himself on what Maggak was saying, and trying to stop them from getting close again.

As the son of a man with multiple wives, certain things were kept private from him but certain things were not. Raiyuk was therefore not ignorant to what the adults were doing in their camp — but he didn't know how to diffuse the curiosity bordering on protective interest that came now from Maggak.

It was not hurting— He answered the girl, and gave Seal a sheepish glance as if to ask her, what do I do? What do I say? It was love-making. A husband and wife.... Do that. Adults do that. He tried to play it off as if this wasn't a big deal (and to Raiyuk it really wasn't, he held no hangups on the concept overall) but he worried if this was the best way to tell someone about the... process.

The boy cleared his throat. We really should not be here. Thankfully the expression of his body was lessening, although Raiyuk felt a hot embarrassment for being here at all. Lets go uh, help with the hunt preparations. Seal -- he looked at her quickly again, but couldn't hold his eyes upon her, You were helping with the medicine? The women's camp.

Maybe they could talk about anything else to draw Maggak's attention away.
