Porcupine Ridge xiii pana kimigaak

To no surprise of Kigipigak, Chanel focused immediately upon Valmua; her questions were limited in scope and made Kigipigak grin like an idiot for a second, imagining Valmua mending the wounds of the menfolk or taking care of children — how bizarre. Was that all the girl expected out of life? That women would have such limited tasks, that they not be as proud to be warriors as men? He wondered what sort of life Chanel came from but did not ask.

Valmua is capable of many things... Kigipigak said while quelling the humorous notions floating in his head. She is just as strong as either brother, just as cunning as Stjor, and would make a good tactician; we all come from warrior tribes. That gave a small hint about the kind of place Chanel had greed to visit, perhaps to live permanently. Hopefully it would not scare her off.

What sort of place was your home tribe? He asked after a moment to think. It would be good to get to know this girl if she was to lend her services.
