Kildeer Rest Winters Eve

The entire time they were together, they spoke very little with one-another.

Kigipigak was not a serious creature by nature, normally. He was loud, brash, and given to boyish behavior that he should have shed by this point in his life. He knew little of the woman that followed him now, except what she'd shared earlier: that she as sister to Kukutux, had once made a home of the glen, and at some point Moonglow.

She was more serious, he thought. Self-assured too. She moved without doubt as he led the way, and then waited patiently for Kigipigak to seek out Kukutux. He need not howl — the moon-woman's ulaq was easy to find given that the hunter visited often.
