Taikon ate as she explained, savouring the rich, fatty meat. He had never eaten bison before, though he had heard of the creatures.

However, Moonspear was nearby, and that meant the Glen had plenty of able bodies. If Zephyr would allowed him, he would eagerly volunteer against such brutes to protect Takiyok's family, provided Taktuq was settled and okay. I understand, he said, though he had known only cruelty and stupidity in the leaders before, with the exception of Artyom. Zephyr was still someone he was deciding on.
