Amekaze had a well supported claim, but Ptarmigan was bull-headed in her insistence in many things, including a disregard for all things celestial. The moon was an enigma she simply couldn't be bothered to ponder. Puzzling out the way things worked wasn't Ptarmigan's cup of tea, and those who spent their lives in the pursuit of knowledge often earned a less than favoured status in the Endore's mind.

Many of her kin had been Stargazers and Lorekeepers—a particularly famous Lorekeeper named Winter had shared her surname—but she was far removed from their ilk.

You're right, said Ptarmigan with a note of finality, there is no way to know. With that, the female, having lost her concern for the other wolf primarily because Amekaze showed no fear and that embarrassed her, turned away. Maybe someday you will find out, she offered as a farewell as she widened the gap between them, but it was said insincerely. Ptarmigan highly doubted anyone would ever find any justification for the claim that this Large Lake and the moon were linked to one another.
