Triscall is found in this moment when he's out in this sort of winter that looks like it's going to become spring, but will soon frost over into winter again. Cevarion goes over and touches the head of the dog and the dog's eyes opens. So something weird's going on here.

Then we won't hear about it again for several chapters.
