Neverwinter Forest pinuksak

The boy motioned towards the sea, away from the mountain and away from Moonglow. It was not the direction of the home that Kigipigak had once shared with Sakhmet, which might have surprised him at any other time, but now he took the information eagerly and did not discount the source. He had not reason to distrust this boy; they seemed as attentive and dutiful as anyone of Tartok he had known, and so any deception on Aventus' part was overlooked.

Kigipigak was thrilled to have an answer, or even a vague idea of where next he should go. There were many reasons why Sakhmet may have fled — but if she had been frightened in a visible way, Kigipigak could not fathom what had happened. He thought immediately of the cat-beast that had so wounded him, and any hope upon his face was mutated to worry, to focus, to guilt.

He began to move almost immediately, and called to the boy as he went: Thank you for this! If she is frightened I must find her, if she is hurt I must aid her! His voice dwindled the further he went, booming from him in gusts, but somewhere among the many words Kigipigak vowed to repay the boy's kindness.

It was likely Aventus would not hear all the things that fell from Kigipigak's big mouth, though.

Wrapping! :)
