Iluk Village, Ten Days Later

Ten days had passed since the arrival of the dogkin, and in that short period of time, the small-ilk had made themselves right at home. This morning, as well, they were all happily at work.

“All right, here we go!” cried one.

“Bring up the water!” shouted another.

“The pail is tipping! Catch it!”

“Get a good grip! Don’t spill any!”

These were the first voices I heard, from the senjis at the village well. Two of them were working the rope to pull up a pail of water, and two more were there to catch it and transfer the water to separate buckets. The senjis then took those buckets to the yurts to fill up everyone’s water bottles, just as they now did every morning without fail.

“What are we going to do after breakfast?” asked a dogkin from elsewhere.

“Are we cutting grass? Doing embroidery?” asked another.

“Or maybe we’ll have tea?”

“I like our songs too!”

I turned to the village square, where Grandma Maya was preparing for breakfast. Helping her were some of the female dogkin, who liked to spend their days aiding the grannies when they needed it. The elderly in our village were sprightly, to be sure, but they were still the oldest people in the village, and even ordinary, everyday movements—like getting up, sitting down, picking things up, and carrying things around—put a strain on their bodies. So in all the things the grannies did, the dogkin were there, devoted to their new friends and ready to lend a hand or provide the weight of their own bodies as support.

When I noticed just how difficult everyday tasks were for the grannies, I felt mighty ashamed of myself. I hadn’t noticed one bit, and boy did it make me feel awful. I scratched my head as I thought about it, then heard the white ghee mooing from the plains.

“You’re looking good today!”

“Eat up! Eat your fill!”

“You guys sure like that grass, huh? I tried it myself, but it’s just so bitter.”

I looked over at the new conversation that met my ears and saw a group of sheps leading a white ghee back to the village, pulling it along by its reins. Looked like the white ghee had finished breakfast before the rest of us. Behind the ghee were sheps pulling the horses along too, and by the looks on their faces the horses were no less well-fed.

The sheps always handled getting the ghee and horses fed, but they also cleaned the stables and groomed the animals regularly. They were really good at it, and they’d completely won the trust of the ghee and the horses. They followed the sheps’s instructions even better than my own.

“After breakfast, next up is brushing!”

“And I’m on brushing duty today!”

“What? I’m so jealous! I want to be on brush duty!”

The horses neighed a reply to the shep conversation as they all walked along to the stable. Right about then I heard Aymer with Senai and Ayhan. They must have come back from playing with the dogkin kids in the fields.
