Deepwood Weald [m] red flax

a man came from the wood, careful and pleasant. cen sensed he missed nothing. a pretty woman with tufted ears followed; he filled his eyes with her rudely. lastly, sulukinak did not show, but why would she?

"is this the man dutch?" cen asked of the seal hunter. when chakliux nodded, the caribou wolf seemed to stare even deeper at the forest warrior who had spoken the fish eater words. "tell him i am of the lanzadoii caribou hunters and that sulukinak is my cousin through our fathers," he spoke quickly, gesturing; "tell him i do not understand his connection to her. impress upon him that when red leaf and i leave moontide, i want sulukinak with me. i am her cousin, her blood. i should take care of her."
