Cuylar waited at the entrance to the Infirmary for Darrica to return. The talk with his mother had gone about as well as he could have expected. His mother gave him that look she had when she knew he

Garatt wasn't quite as sure of the herdbeast as the other animals that the BeastCraft tended to deal with. Runners he knew, the smaller animals he knew, but herdbeast were a little foreign to the boy'
