Mojag had watched them each disperse.

He had the want to go to Moontide and be home again. He had the want to see his mother in Moonglow also, and to make it known that he persisted in these wilds, so that she would not worry.

The man witnessed the flow of bodies until he knew he was alone, minding the herd of giants which had so captivated him. There were narrow-bodied things as well; he thought narrow but they were tall and long-necked, almost like deer but larger, and not quite as large as the bison. He had no word for them.

But he spied one, a female judging by how round her belly was and the season; and so he watched her from afar, curious and not yet hungry enough to test her mettle.
