Hof picked up one of each of the two new things. 
"Maybe this is food...?" From again suggests.
Hof takes a bite of each and exclaims, "It's good! One is type of new meat, other is some sweet sort of meat. Maybe other types of Jek around?"
The other Brutes agree that this is a possibility. 
Hof reaches into a Jek skin bag and pulls out a few thick, sturdy Jek hides, offering them to Sonya. He also grabs points to a Brute spear then a Cindorayi spear and shrugs, indicating that he wants to compare the two weapons/hunting tools.
