Duskfire Glacier When I'm sinking like a stone, at least I know I'm not alone

Shivali doesn’t notice the trail she’s left behind, nor does she notice when she leaves with Tahani. Her attention immediately becomes her brother, standing to one side of him to get a better look. She hardly notices the exchanges going on around her, concerned with her brother’s help, but soon Takiyok has returned with moss soaked in water. Uki has disappeared, perhaps to get something for Siarut, so easily the woman sits down nearby and helps a best she can.
 
“Everyone is fine, don’t worry about them right now,” she tells him, gently nudging his cheek.
