Some people might ask about the baby goat. Wake works the hatchet the rest of the way into his belt, careful to angle the leather guarded business end of it in a sensible direction. Maybe he should have taken the knife offered by one of the commune's members to start with instead.

"I'm not going back in. I need to take something from it."

(The knife had bothered him. Repulsed him. Appealed to him. If he thinks about it, he might be able to put his finger on why. But he isn't going to do do that.)

Instead, he hefts the strap of the waterskin further across his shoulder. Hitches the empty skin itself higher against his side. He gives the stranger and the goat a thorough once over. Do the extra details mark him as a Summoned, or just as a character prominent enough to have bothered rendering with some precision?

"Did you come through it too?"
