Ouroboros Spine sure would like some sweet company

kukutux listened.

ruenna had always been a woman of sound thought. it was good that this mind had been given the proper respect by the position she now held in redhawk. the caldera were their allies as well, she knew, through meerkat. it would be well for them to see one another again, when the summer had gone away.

the redfern went on to explain how the strong young hunter had at once become a threat, to a pregnant woman no less! kukutux did not enjoy the thought of this; her alabastrine ears tilted back at once, and she wondered what sort of misbalancing of power inside the redhawks was happening, to allow such to go on.

her ways were not the ways of the world, and she knew it, with all of her. and yet she could not help but wonder what might have happened were an older and wiser man elevated to such a position.

zane had this years, and yet he was as jovial and flighty as a yearling boy. it frustrated her.

"you and i have the same thinking in this." the blackfox, cautious and observant. aiolos, watchful and confident. only the seal hunter had moved with abandon, but they had been so very young, the two of them, married far earlier than even she meant for sialuk.

"there must be a sharing of power. ah, equal," kukutux murmured. "beauty is only one part of sharing a life with another."

a smile, for ruenna, open and relieved, to speak so to one counted as friend.
