n
n“You’re becoming a man, Faisal. You’ll need this sooner than you think.”
n
nFaisal rubbed the sparse scruff on his chin and accepted the gift with what he thought was adult gravity.
n
n“It’s good you do not visit often, you grumpy old tiger,” the jackal said. “You spoil the children.”
n
n“If he ever finds his own mate, he’ll have good practice in spoiling his own children,” Manal retorted as she stroked her hand appreciatively over a lovely silk scarf. The gift was a trifle, but she knew that the tiger would leave a substantial wad of cash when he departed as recompense for the expense of feeding and housing him during his visit. She turned her attention to Dmitry and asked, “How long do you stay?”
n
n“A few days only,” he replied.
n
n“Off on another hunt?” Waleed asked.
n
n“Not this time. I need some time away to clear my mind. I was thinking of going to America.”
n
n“America, the land of distractions,” Waleed scoffed.
n
nDmitry’s lips twisted in a wry smile and then he said, “I’m in need of distraction. I plan on hiking the great Appalachian Trail.”
n
n“Isn’t there sufficient wilderness in Siberia?”
n
n“I think I’d like to relax in a gentler land for a little while.” He did not add that he felt compelled to go there. Something called him to that land and damned if he could say what it was.
n
n“You’ve been thinking about this for a while, old friend.”
n
n“Perhaps.”n
