- I want to ask your brothers and your father if I can take you to the full moon dance.

- Don’t you think you rather should ask me? Hdajk, smiled but was also serious. I’m not anybodies property, you know.

- Oh no, of course not! I just assumed …

- Don’t! Don’t assume anything about me! But you can ask me!

- So Hdajk, you want to go to the full moon dance with me?

- Yes, I thought you’d never ask!

They both laughed.

And then he kissed her.

- Father! Father! I saw him kiss Hdajk!! Sanie ran to tell Oyw.

- What? Did they see you?

- No, I don’t think so…

- Good! And please Won, don’t make a fuss about this.

- Father, I never really had anything against him. I just don’t know him. Yet.

- So you will respect your sister’s choice, if it should come to that?

- Of course! It was never an issue from my part. Actually I think it’s just Efhag who doesn’t like him. And then Klyg, as usual, who always do whatever Efhag does.

- I think Efhag is just jealous because Rusa is a much better hunter than he is. Koryi said.

- You might be right. I will have to talk to him. But these things wears me down, they really do.

- You want me to talk to him? Won asked.

- No. Oyw sighed. This is something I have to do myself, as a father.
