Kildeer Rest only the beginning

The one named Lane was not a woman Sialuk could recall. If they had met, it had been brief. It sounded as though Lane was much more of a hunter than a sister, and Sialuk thought fondly of Shikoba among their ranks. Sialuk did not think Shikoba was a mother, but she sensed that she would make strong children when she found a suitor to her liking. Sialuk wondered if Kigipigak was suitor to anyone.

Is this the kind of woman you would like to become ugi to? she asked. Surely anaa had plans for Kigipigak, but Sialuk was curious as well. She did occasionally think of what she wished in her prospects, but usually the waves of nothingness kept those thoughts away.
