Ayaluk asked you to return to the foreman to thank him for his aid and concern.
'I want to thank the foreman for his assistance. I know that my brother always held him in high regard and he was the only person in this encampment, aside from you, I felt I could trust.
'Could you tell him how grateful I am for the help he provided to us?'
Ayaluk asked that you return to the foreman and express his heartfelt thanks.
The foreman was not at his post. Where could he have gone? You hear a nearby whisper that there is a new overseer; perhaps you should go and check.
