Gunter stood outside Lorna’s shop, his hand resting on Bakuul’s neck. The elk’s warmth was reassuring as he kept a watchful eye on the street. His fingers absently stroked the animal’s coarse fur, a habit he’d developed during his training with his own elk.

Gunter’s eyes narrowed as he studied the brute, committing his features to memory.
