Moonspear where'd you go

Kuku tag for reference! Thought you might enjoy incorporating the discovery of Sialuk's hard work into another post. ;)

He seemed up to the task, and his cheerful reply made Sialuk smile, blackened teeth and all. Her uncle asked what it was for, and Sialuk was quick to respond. It was nice to just know these things, having been born into her mother's work. It helps your stomach when it feels bad, she replied, feeling the grit of it in her teeth. It was only then she realized that there might be some of it stuck there. Hopefully not much! (Spoiler: it was very much.) If you eat something you shouldn't have, it will make it all better. That was the gist of it, anyway.

The Omicron snatched up the other half of the charcoal, unable to talk with her mouth full of it as they went back to the ulaq. Anaa wasn't there, but Sialuk deposited the soft chunks of blackened wood near @Kukutux's other supplies. Nobody else was present at the ulaq, so the raindrop didn't feel inclined to stick around.

I think we could go carry one more mouthful, she said before she realized (with some horror) that the inside of Nikai's mouth was completely covered in soot. That meant that her mouth looked like that, too. And she didn't even have dark fur to help it blend in! Think quick, Sialuk! Or maybe... maybe not.
