Blacktail Deer Plateau i would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me

It was almost a gut punch to hear such words from her own mother.

Yet there some soothing sensation to it as well. To hear that the grand woman who Sakhmet had always looked up to was perhaps on a more...reachable level than she had thought. Maegi had not done it alone and she did not take credit for such things.

She was hushed through it all as she listened closely, a faint smile on her lips. Deeply touched by the end of it all. Sakhmet knew she could not do this alone.

It was why she had held Gleipnir so close when he had arrived.

It was why she searched high and low for Kigpigak.

It was (part of the reason) why she had welcomed her growing family back with open arms.

Thank you, ma. She hummed softly in return. I'll have yours too. Promise.

Do you like this place? A shift to lighter topics, even if she carried the weight of previous words with her still.
