Urudal nodded with a frown, “We all lost.” He did not know how to explain how the deaths in his tribe and the loss trust as well as things had made them all different.<br/><br/>It wasn’t like his tribe was primitive. They did have access to technology and medicine, but they simply chose not to go crazy with it. They chose not to have it be a priority in their lives.  His people could travel to cities where it was the priority, but those cities were fewer than the tribes that lived off the land.<br/><br/>“My mother too, taken by sickness. I am sorry for your loss. For trouble your people put you through.” Urudal abruptly stopped and pulled Ilion into a tight bear hug.  He meant it to be kind and reassuring, but he didn’t know his strength with Ilion’s kind and did not think if it would be too hard or not hard enough.   The giant did have to admit he very much liked the way Ilion felt against him even if it was for a brief moment.
