Phoenix Maplewood phantom bruise

a wild uki appears if you don't mind her

Usually Tupilaq could be found wandering, searching the wilderness for her gods or for threats. Their time in Fox's Glade had not been kind to her however; much of the prey she's caught she's surrendered to the equally ill-faring Shivali who needs it more as she's the children's primary caretaker. She's taken one injury too many alongside her diminished state, from the fights she's gotten into chasing rogues away from nanuk's family and eliminating predators alike. The day finds her still with the group for once, unable to sleep but still taking a much needed rest.

When the mother appears, basking in Siqiqniq's beams peacefully, angakkuq almost decides not to approach. She's been avoiding the Ateneq sisters since running across them, figuring in time they'll be less standoffish and perhaps they'd find some gratitude for what it cost everyone to help their family. It matters little to tapeesa if it unfolds or not for she's taken up a similar image of them. Much like she's only the means of finding food for their children, they're merely nanuk's sisters and whether she finds friendship and family in them as Siarut said, is irrelevant. She'll bring them her prey but for nanuk and the young ones Shivali nurses, not for the sisters themselves.

With this in mind, she figures she has little to lose and makes her way to the eldest sister. She takes up a spot a pace or so away, settling on her ivory haunches with a soft chuff.
