@Red Leaf :o

the first warrior paused at the lodges to bring meat. but he did not visit, knowing that his tense energy would only disturb the pups. instead, he looked for @Raiyuk, to tell him quietly that an enemy of the seal hunters now lived in the village, to guard against the man cen.
when chakliux moved toward the beach, he found that the man had not come back. the seal hunter scoffed at this; he brought a bird to the shell-path that led to the new den of the caribou people. he did not know her name and had not seen her, did not even know the number of the pups.
but chakliux had his own plan, and stopped well back from the den-mouth. "i am looking for the caribou woman who came here with cen," he called gently, in the the pidgin he and the hateful hunter had used.
