Ouroboros Spine shark in shallow water

today the duck was performing a true cleansing of her ulaq and the clearing. she had pulled all furs from their makeshift drying spaces and discarded the oldest ones among them in a heap far from the living areas. the duck plucked tufts of her own fur from the branches and buried every existent skeleton in the opposite direction, some minutes from the ulaq.

she replaced them with soft rabbit-skins, tucking raimo's red foxfur where it could not be easily seen. this caused her some hesitation, and eventually she pulled it from its shelter, staring upon it for a long moment.

she would carry it to her altar. 

for now, kukutux tasked herself with finding jawfuls of bright blooms to carry back, and when this was finished, she retreated to the cools of the lake, intent upon bathing the dirt and crushed leaf litter from her stained coat. shikoba was here, and she smiled, watching as other the woman cut effortlessly through the surface of the water. she herself waded into its shallows, sighing pleasantly to her own ears.
