Heart fluttering happily, Keyni dared to bump her forehead gently against the ducks temple, in a show of thanks. She considered her words relating to sisterly acts with a hum. "Quite. We women must stick together. And I too, believe we are often overlooked in our strength." She leveled her gaze. "But only by men who are close minded, blind in seeing women as equal, even if, in a different way." She stated, lending Kukutux a glimpse of her open minded nature, but also her firm stance on her own beliefs. She would agree and consider the viewpoints of others, but would not conform to them if they did not align, simply to fulfill the happiness of another.

"If...it is not too personal to ask, do you have a life partner? If you do...how did you know he was right? Gut instinct? Or, did you take it one step at a time?" She fell silent then, shaking her head as if apologizing for the plethora of questions. Keyni was wise beyond her years in many ways, but the matter of love and courtship were entirely uncharted waters for her. She knew some individuals dove head first, impulsively, while others were much more cautious. Kukutux seemed an expert and she was curious to learn of the way in which her own marriage (if any) was forged.
