Ouroboros Spine surprise

The girl gave him the cold shoulder. He did not expect much else from her, however. The way she spoke of the dead thing was odd to him but he liked it for how different it was; being a physical creature and not so much a spiritual one, Raimo was intrigued by the mention of spirits. These were things he could ask about at another time.

When Sialuk spoke of the debt being cleared, Raimo chuffed. That is for your elder to decide, he corrected. I will bring what I can carry so that she can recover. This meat is dead, cold. I will hunt for something else after. He did not need the girl to give him orders or decide anything for him. Raimo knew he was a stronger provider.

Still, he liked the straight-forward way Sialuk proported herself. She seemed the hardier of the two somehow. Without waiting for commentary from her, Raimo moved towards the carcass and began to pick apart what he could reach.
