Snowforest Taiga [feast] uluktuk ⋽

kukutux settled some ways off from the camp. it would only be for a short time. she wandered, her pale legs carrying her in a semi-circle just out of earshot of the others.

she had seen lane speaking with tuluuwaq. sialuk had not held interest for him. and she had thought that @Kigipigak would be with the duskfire woman now.

the tatkret brother was handsome and charming. lane had the status of wisewoman and healer in her village. kukutux wondered for the thousandth time why her kinsman waited, why he held so fast to the laws of tartok.

she thought of tulimaq, unmarried. alone. he was sivullik but what did he have of his own? did the winterhawk desire this life?

the duck paused, breath rising whitely as she looked toward the glittering night sky.
