It’s true that the reindeer came close to Dimitri
Nothing materialized, however. To Dimitri’s surprise, the animal was really coming up to him in a friendly manner. When they were done, the reindeer made a low noise and nudged Dimitri. Dimitri was awestruck by the enormous wild beast; he had never been so close to one. He thought this must be the kind of unfathomable terror that was written about in history books. Still, the deer showed no signs of wanting to hurt him.
