Summary
"The chill wind made the new being’s tattered cloak flap in the wind, and pale frozen fingers clutched tightly at the edge of the hood to keep it from moving. Korba could see little else of the being until a particularly nasty snap of the wind plucked the hood of the cloak from the cold fingers and a pale but indistinct face appeared for a moment until a shaking hand grabbed the hood back. That and the curled, bare toes also revealed by the wind, confirmed the species.
Ah, human, Korba thought."
_____
