The other boy soon went inside to pick his sleeping fur. When he came out again, Raiyuk was almost done with the filling in of gaps. It would take time before the mud had dried and any further patchwork could happen, so he reclined a moment and observed his accomplishment; this was the moment Matteo asked about Marina, and Raiyuk put aside the work on the lodge to favor this.

I'm not sure, he admitted. In all his time working on the lodge he had not seen much of Tullik or Marina, except in passing, or in those moments he would ask for work to do or things to help with; they were not close, at any rate. He was nervous to try and extend friendship to her in case he said or did something wrong, given what she had been through.

We could hunt for something fresh for her. I'm sure my father would appreciate it too. One of Raiyuk's jobs was to mind his father's wives, and he had not done well with it.
