Hoshor Plains sister bear

the scarred man was quietly surprised to hear no mention of seal. had not raiyuk been all but courting her? and now he watched his son from the corner of his eye.
maybe the guarding of this was the first step to entering his masculinity.
"it may take another winter before matteo is ready to earn his scars, if he wants them. take him out with you when you are a man. seal hunters will go far, trade in many villages, learn many languages. maybe you will not want to come back. maybe you will settle another place."
his eyes were warm. "but you will always be a seal hunter once you are scarred, no matter where you go."
