Frostfire Ridge something for the soul

his answer seems a bit chilling to the woman, though she must come to realize that not everyone lives in pleasure with those they share blood with. after all, shikoba has lost all of her bloodlines, she is the only remaining kin of the desert chieftain. her eyes lift up to observe his for a moment, though they soften as he grows to talk about his fondness in the relationships made within the spine. she is happy to know that at least now the man has something worth noting, something worth coming back home to even in the most exciting of adventures.

shikoba has felt this bond to kukutux and to Moonglow for quite some time now. others have slowly made their way into their heart, though it appears that inutsuk has a quicker pace than most. "a good family" she says with a prideful tone as she sends a smile towards him. though, she feels her ears flutter at the mention of a second family. it takes her a moment to process this statement, unsure of what he means for a few.

and as she looks up once more to see him, she notices that he looks right back at her. she looks away, ears airplaning with heat rushing to her face. she hasn't felt this way since she was a teenager, and even then, it was for the wrong wolf, the one her father disapproved of. would the great hinto approve of this one in spirit? 

so long as the snow fall is gentle, shikoba could only assume yes. "inutsuk make good father." a compliment, something she finds difficult to say because of her lacking comprehension of the entire language. at least the message is receivable and simple to understand, at least, she only hopes that.
