The Mountain Wolf and Dagaeoga walk side by side, and we can surmise, Great Bear, that they talk much together.
Perhaps Dagaeoga was telling the Mountain Wolf where he has been these many months, why he went away, and why he chose to come back when he did out of the mists and vapors.

Dagaeoga is strong and well.

Look how his footprints show the length of his stride and how steady and even it is! He walks stride for stride with the Mountain Wolf, who as we know is six feet tall.

Dagaeoga has grown since he went away.

He was strong before he left, but he is stronger now.
