Whatever the wolf chooses, Kigipigak finds himself plotting different things during the wait. He could launch an attack upon Njord and properly thrash him — teach him to never come near the Watch or Valmua again. He could journey on without him, leaving him unharmed, and take his chances with small game before the worst of the snow hits. 

They are both better off working together. Stowing their rivalry and animosity for the greater good. It is not a long wait to hear his decision and Kigipigak nods once it is voiced. He takes the lead, silently prowling ahead while searching for signs of life among the trees and the frost-heavy grass.

He pays little to no heed to the wolf lurking behind him. Kigipigak has already bested Njord once, and if he should go back on his word and challenge him with his back turned, he knows he can take care of it. They hunt now or they fight and Njord dies - either way, the Watch will eat.
