Silently, as if she wished to help but didn't wish to be seen, the waif settled into a corner of their lives. Her loyalty lay with nanuk for it was he who brought her back, hovering at his heels to meet the mentioned family. They were important to Sia and became important to her, though she avoided the mother, Shivali. The scent of milk and young ones clung to her and the berserker sensed that she would not be welcome near the child for some time. Her words remained locked behind scarred lips, despite the kindness found in Siarut.

Tapeesa, worried she'd be seen as a burden, often returned only at sunrise with some prey clasped in her dire jaws or weary from exploring nearby territories - as she'd seen Sia do. It was a late dusk that she woke, eyes glassy with the horrors that had danced in her dreams. Angakkuq rose on silent paws, attempting to shake off the last sensations of her skin crawling with terror. With a sideways glance to assure she hasn't awoken any of the others, tiqqaq's stsa' moved away on graceful steps. 

She tips her nose to the air, for the night air always seems to smell fresher to tupilaq. Slender legs trace a path from where nanuk's family has camped, into the surrounding forest - the trees' tangled shadows growing gloomy and menacing as the night approaches. Within the confines of the deciduous forest, beneath the dark canopy where the first stars can be seen winking through the lattice of branches, the waif seems to set aside a heavy weight. There's a light behind her silver eyes and her head seems to raise a fraction. With no eyes to witness this transformation, tapeesa comes to life in the night.

A stray scent leads her to the Forest's idyllic meadows, dotted with varieties of flowers she'd not been able to see in the north. The sun, the fiercest of her gods, Siqiqniq was just beginning to sink beyond the horizon as Uki found a spot in the grass, curling in on herself protectively as tupilaq settles in to watch the sun set as eerie fox calls rise from the forest.
"And you're tired of not being strong."
