Silverlight Terrace Pisok

Another viable hunter joined the first, along with a younger, darker companion. Sialuk noted their different features, the beat of their words, and the way they regarded one another. The second large male spoke of a village nearby, and the raindrop wondered if he was one of Moonglow's hunters. She did not recognize Mojag, for he was many months grown now. Not yet a man, but somewhere between that and a boy.

She did not offer herself to the hunt, but instead regarded them cooly. If they wished for her help, they could ask it of her. She had hunted both by herself and with others in her life, and she would not be useless to them. However, it would be easier to observe their worthiness if she was able to watch from afar.
