Even more clearly he saw Bram as the time passed; the hunted look in the man's eyes, even as he hunted the loneliness of him as he had stood listening for a sound from the only friends he had the padded beasts ahead.

Mix had trailed the blame to Adam and Eve, and was feeling personally resentful. It was plain to him that his failure wasn't in any sense his own fault.
