Ouroboros Spine anilaaktuk

A voice he did not know sounded sharply from deep within the village. Kigipigak was welcome to enter, so he ceased his pacing and followed the route he knew so well, in to the depths of Moonglow village.

It was there he saw the man; ignited like a signal fire and moving swiftly to where Kigipigak could meet with him. They sized one-another up in the common way that men do. The man appeared annoyed, almost, that he should be here to greet Kigipigak. It wasn't until they spoke that the iceberg understood why.

I am sorry to take you from her side. Kigipigak said with a small bow. Kukutux asked if I would stay when I last visited. I have decided to come and to do that, as her kinsmen.

The man could be of use among the hunters of the village at least, which would put him to use immediately. Is she well? Her and -- daughters, you say? Congratulations.
