Ouroboros Spine taggak

Her sides were round. He knew this, but it was information that struck him quite suddenly all the same. Kigipigak was so focused on finding Sakhmet that he hadn't been paying as much attention to his kin, and it was her invitation that struck such a chord with him.

Kigipigak could go far in this place. He could not give up on Sakhmet — he had places he wanted to go and to look, but the offer was incredibly tempting. What would her parents think? He only entertained that question for a breath, as the answer was swift to arrive: he did not care what they thought. They had abandoned Sakhmet before and would do so again. Perhaps this time she abandoned them first.

I... I have places I wish to look, Kigipigak explained, his head lightly shaking back and forth. Still his mind buzzed with thoughts of Sakhmet, of the paths he could take in seeking her. Perhaps he could visit the ruined glen where they had met. Or further south, where he'd never been before...

If I do not find her I will return. He promised, though Kigipigak sounded distracted. He sighs, looking at the ground and then back to Kukutux, to her bulging sides. It looked as if he had time to do a quick survey of the valley before her children came.

You look happy, healthy, Kukutux. I wish one day I could have what you have.
