The Book of the Long Sun - Classic Wolf Again

Ajiya hears a voice on the other side of a patch of reeds saying it's not true. And so we're introduced to this new character whose name we don't get, but it is an old man who has been looking for someone in the lake and can't find them. The boatman speaks in a kind of confusing way and it feels a little old-timey and out of place compared to the other people that we've been talking about. I love his accent. Classic wolf again, like writing the dialect into the character.
