White That Walks stays as close as possible to Dark Dreams Wanderer, naked awe and reverence on his face warring with protective pride. The other Nuk, the one he had been sent to find by the Great Bear Mother, the one he had been called to join his tale to, was even more impressive than he had imagined. No wonder the spirits saw something in this strange child of the In Between Time.

The Nuk and his bear companion still find time to drink mead and hot wine, eat heartily, and converse with the Jarl's nordlings and the handful of other strange companions and warriors who had ventured to Silvermeade. But when the skald beckons for the tale, he becomes still, turning to his fellow Nuk. His attention is riveted on him, waiting for him to share what had happened while White That Walks hunted his destiny.
