Sialuk's expression was puzzled as she looked to Mordecai, pinning one word out of all he said and finding it foreign. "What are turtles?" she asked, genuinely unsure if she'd ever seen such a creature. Muskrats, otters, and beavers were familiar to the Alaskan bitch because they too resided in Alaska's warmer regions, but turtles were unheard of.

She was so enthralled with this new type of animal, so eager to hear of them, that she only nodded dumbly when Mordecai suggested they continue hunting in the bog. Had she been more mindful, or more worried about getting stuck, she might have suggested another location, but she would have hunted anywhere if it meant Mordecai would tell her about turtles.
