Kino's attitude changes as he experiences a rush of exhilaration and becomes ever cautious of his family. His instincts are fine tuned, and he is aware of his surroundings as never before.

Some ancient thing stirred in Kino. Through his fear of dark and the devils that haunt the night, there came a rush of exhilaration; some animal thing was moving in him so that he was cautious and wary and dangerous; some ancient thing out of the past of his people was alive in him.
