Northstar Vale don't you know that i'm trying?

what about me surprises you? kalika stopped preening the hide, instead turning her attention fully to the little bird. she was unfamiliar with the north; it would be too difficult to make any assumptions based on what little information was given. 

the siren chirped, a small sound meant to convey interest. she would not pry, but anything additional would have been welcomed. my people come from the coast. would kukutux be interested in learning more? kalika was eager to teach, if so.
