"An odd relationship, to be sure. One likes to imagine that the falcon respects its falconer as well as its falconer respects it," or as well as its falconer ought to, "but if it is to be a truly effective hunter it must be as wild as it is tame. I have sometime thought jesses crueler than chains for the brief illusion of freedom the bird enjoys for a few wingbeats."

About the bird, about its 'master'. Little for the hare; it irks her to be thought prey, despite making herself an attractive target.

"It is a rare bird who would fly to the glove a-purpose, rather than being born to it or caught. I should simultaneous cherish it and wonder always why it came. Why it stays."

The woman's tattoos are rather lovely.
