Ouroboros Spine He's heading out the door

He wondered at first if this would spell the end of his pledge to Moonglow. If he refused to follow the man she had chosen, he suspected it might reflect poorly on her decision, and come across as a show of disrespect to her also. He suspected she might inform him that he did not belong if he could not follow the man she had put in charge of the hunters. If she had more faith in Raimo than she had in him, then he felt certain that she would not change her decision. He recalled what she had told him- that there were two circles, and that the hunters chose their first hunter...But also, that she was Wisewoman, and that she also had some sway in the decision-making. What had transpired, though, was that the chosen sivullik had been rejected by one of the other hunters. What would happen next was anyone's guess. 

He did not expect her to ask him if he would take the title. At first, he thought she might have been offering it to him, but he wasn't certain it would happen so easily, unless for some reason he had earned her favour over Raimo. Perhaps she was simply asking him what he would do, rather than bestowing the title upon him. So he nodded. "I will." If it was her decision, and if she could put him in charge, he would gladly accept the responsibility. The thought of that possibility made his heart race. "I have made it known. And was cast out of his hunting party as a result, though...I think he does not have a hunting party." He said. "He is sivullik to none." He said. When Adrastus had sighted the herd of mountain goats, both Sialuk and Raimo had come to his summon, though the latter had questioned him. Still, he felt he was proving himself.

It was easy enough for him to pledge himself, and tell Kukutux how he would dedicate himself to his pack. But what was more difficult to say, was something that made his chest feel tighter.  "There is something else, regarding Raimo." He said, though he was reluctant to bring such a thing up, as it seemed very personal, and improper. "How he speaks of you, and Sialuk."
