Blackfoot Forest Watch carefully the magic that occurs

She had not been accustomed to travelling at night but soon found the benefits in it for these lands were warmer than she liked and Siqiqniq was ruthless in daylight. In the dark, beneath the stars, there is little to be seen as they travel and tupilaq finds her moonlight gaze habitually wandering to nanuk at the head of their group. The empath senses much responsibility weighing on the patriarch's shoulders and so tries not to be a distraction. Still, she feels his olive gaze on her as they travel. It's new and strange to tiqaqq's stsa' and often in the times between day and night, she wanders away for a taste of this freedom - for the familiarity of solitude. 

It's one of these such moments, as she basks in Siqiqniq's glory as he sinks over the horizon, that nanuk appears to her. He's as silent as ever, reminiscent of the ocean's jaws. Uki, seemingly sheepish, rises though there's a curl to her shoulders like the frail pages of a worn book. She gives a small twitch, as if she were about to reach out to him again but stopped herself.

"I was coming back. I just," she stops suddenly for how can tapeesa explain that she merely wanted to watch before they moved on? It sounds silly in her own ears and she falls silent.
