Moonspear lie to me

Ping me if any of this intuiting is too far off base! I figure Sialuk is pretty good at reading her mom by now, since they're close. <3

There was a way her mother spoke of Fennec that made Sialuk a little bit on edge about the witch. Something unsaid, something unspoken, something not particularly good. Her words contradicted what Sialuk felt her mother actually meant. As she grew, the raindrop was learning that words and thoughts did not always line up, especially when it came to anaa.

She did, however, take the compliment at face-value, even if Sialuk didn't believe she was smarter and quicker than Fennec (and finally, a name to put to the witch). Even if she was a "bad" witch, Sialuk wondered if there was something to be said for that. Without bad, could there be good?

Sialuk thought of these things as her teeth and jaws worked the beaver tail, softening it slowly and steadily. Her jaw tired, but she was loathe to stop before her mother instructed her to do so.
