Moonspear lie to me

Her mother explained in detail what would have to happen before Huojin would come to live with them. There were many approvals he would need, and even then, he would need to become a hunter before he could become a husband. Sialuk pressed her tongue into the top of her mouth as she mulled over these things. Another question lingered on her mind, too. One that she pressed and pulled in her mind until it became clear how to ask it.

Is Huojin the only one? she asked after a long pause.

Perhaps she was being greedy and ungrateful in asking that, but she did want to know. He was the only boy she had met outside of Moonspear, and she wondered if that was by design. Perhaps anaa was pushing their union in particular. And while that would not have been completely disagreeable with Sialuk, she did want to know if that was the case. Did she get a say in her future, or would it all be laid out for her, crafted in quiet conversations between adults?

And did Sialuk even mind the implication of such a thing? Perhaps not, so long as she was made aware of what was going on.
