Theric and Ikhannuk stop under the eaves of the back door of Eetu's house. Ikhannuk, hunched over under the roof too low for him, sighs. "You pledged this all to him. It would be out of place for me to promise what belongs to another man. You will have to ask him."
Ikhannuk listens patiently to Theric, then speaks, "There are hunting parties that go out and hunt deer or woolswine. However, if you feel brave, I can get you acquainted to some Khaliyuna. They need their excercize." A man carries a barrel over his shoulder through the doorway, glancing at Theric, most likely to judge the distance and not run into him. He walks out and carries it down the hill. "As far as other places to go, Eetu might have a map. Or if you want work to do, I can keep my ear to the ground."
Zaluk wakes up with a start as Douzheng announces the project's completion. He leans forward and grabs his walking stick and starts trying to stand up, slowly and with some struggle.
