Ouroboros Spine katjanik ⋖

Well, if he needed any more proof that Kukutux and Sialuk were close, he had it. He smiled softly as he was found out, and nodded. "Indeed I have," He admitted. Both times he had crossed Sialuk's path, she had greeted him with those words, so he assumed that it was a greeting accepted socially by the pack's Moon and Stars in use for both strangers and those who were acquaintances. He wasn't sure if it was appropriate as a way to greet the leader, however...But she seemed at least somewhat amused. He figured he would be corrected if she had been at all displeased with him. 

In his peripheral vision he saw her sit up carefully, still regarding him with an even gaze. He remained very still, without lifting his head so that she might look upon him and judge him respectful and worthy. She mentioned the howl, and he nodded again. "I do." He said. "I exchanged words with Sialuk, in an agreement that I might live here and join the pack. I thought it might be time to do the same for you." He said. He had brought the muskrat as an offering, of course, but he didn't move to bring it closer. He remained where he was, with the understanding that he ought not approach unless called upon or invited to do so.
