Ezekiel was feral; he was the type of man who would have thrived without the aid of hands or the intelligence gifted by their disease. So it did not surprise him to have forgotten the girl at first glance; many faces had come and gone.

Yet she recalled his name, and in doing so, he remembered the child he had found on the shores so long ago. Hardly anything had changed.

He made a low, imitation whinny in greeting (for low-speech, while capable, sounded peculiar from canines) and gestured in the same way. “A bit big for you, isn’t he?” A half-joke. His own stallion would likely raise hell with yet another male coming into the herd.
