Duskfire Glacier howl down your babel moon

Is it cool if we set this before Nanook and Siarut leave on their scouting trip? (:

 

She is going nowhere important when she crosses a familiar trail, alone and far from where the scent usually centres. Shivali, and the memory flashes again, distorted and provoking - the blur of sharp fangs and a smear of white, and she feels that familiar tremor of heat through the core of her chest. They remind her of the night her parents separated, and of the ferocity she has felt inside herself. It is a place Nanook does not wish to dwell.

Yet she wishes to know this sister, and the mother of her brothers and sister, and if there is anyone she dishonoured most with her unbecoming arrival, she was sure it was Shivali. No one could fix this except herself, and the longer she stayed away, the worse her avoidance would become. And so, despite the anxiety wooing her away, Nanook presses onward until she comes upon the woman near the cusp of the lake, bathed in moonlight.

She pauses, uncertain in her approach and quieted by the crashing ice. At this rate, the lake would thaw just in time to freeze again, and she considers saying this as a point of entry. Instead, she glances to the sky, and remarks, "Sagittarius shines brightly tonight." Even before she's finished, she's uncertain, and wishes to have tried some other words. Who could say if the woman is acquainted with the stars, or even at all interested in them? By the tip of Shivali's head, Nanook assumes that she might at least be watching the sky, and she tries to grasp at some assurance in this.
