Maheegan had seen the entire thing unfold, as well as heard the conversation, as she crouched in a stand of bushes, apparently afraid of being noticed eavesdropping. She wasn't fond of Migisi and didn't quite know why, but he wasn't the reason she'd come. The truth was that she'd run out of chores and slipped away; as of yet no one had noticed her disappearance. She felt for Kiyiya. No one really bothered speaking to Maheegan, likely because she rarely bothered speaking to them, and part of her liked it that way. She kept her head down, got things done, listened, and often left. 

She didn't very much like the sight of the calf being dragged, but it was quickly shrugged off when she saw Kiyiyi jog back toward the village. He probably thought she was there, she realized when she remembered yesterday that he'd promised to play with her. Her dark eyes followed the running figure. Time to surprise him. 

Maheegan sprinted up behind him and waited for Kiyiyi to notice that he was being followed. Her small, wiry figure made it easy to catch up.
