Bitterroot Valley uuman ∾

kukutux was not certain how to lift the spirit of her raindrop. it hurt and worried the duck to see sialuk so possessed of a saddening spirit.

moonwoman pursed her lips. she thought of how best to speak directly. "sometimes knowing the body of a hunter comes before you are wife, sialuk." perhaps her puakak felt the pressure of becoming a wife when she had not even known a man yet. there was no concept of virginity among her people. young women of marrying-age lay with whom they wished. it did not change the thoughts of the village around them. 


but this place was different. these were the teekon lands.
