yes, i figured the long strider was an adult male, but i saw no clue to indicate kinship.

the 'maverick above' made me think the long strider was a single man, and the boy was tagging along, and could not understand why he would plead for the kid to stay with him. i didn't get at all that the maverick was the crow. and why would he plead for the boy to stay, since the boy had been involved in the shooting of the other crow? not directly, but by his presence, he was complicit in the murder of the crow.

'the two alone' reads to me as just the humans being left.

can this be worked out?
why are they hunting crows anyway?
