Gunder, a houndmaster of swarthy complexion and not many words. At his side's Jane, a deerhound, brought along with him from the lord's house he abandoned.
How does Jane work? Does she have toughness/fate, or is she simply narrative?
Mimnern thinks Gunder is delicately balanced on the edge of criminality. To leave his lord is one thing, to take a hound from the household is another.
Snori respects Gunder as a hunter, especially when he brings him quality hides to incorporate into his forging. He pays no heed to the rumours about his supposed 'shadier' characteristics as he has had no personal experience or knowledge of them.
Such a majestic beast! A dog the size of a pony!? Posco believes that Jane is the true master in Gunder and Jane's situation. He's seen seen the way the man fawns over her when he thinks no one is looking, he knows who the boss is.
