Totoka River tukisiviit ⪂

All eyes on her, she could feel the weight of them.

The warmth and joy of Kigipigak's copper gaze.

The home and love of Kukutux's spring gaze.

Admittedly, it did not feel her place to speak upon the invitation of Moonglow. Kigipigak had already spoken that they were on a different path and if his heart yearned for them to wander away from the village, she would follow and lead into the unknown with him. She knew not who Aiolos was, if he had any say in where the village would go or if he was another who wished to depart from the village.

She wondered if there was heartbreak for Kukutux in the words Kigipigak said, if that was where the invitation bloomed from — or maybe it was just the heart of the woman who had healed both of the blossoming wolves before her. How grateful Sakhmet had been for the snow woman from the moment they had met. Without her she would not have Kigipigak.

Her pale moon eyes moved from village woman to her snowy mountain man. As if she might absorb the strength from his gaze alone to back him on his words. She did not doubt the words he had spoken, she would believe that that was what he wanted.

If Kigipigak is ready to venture then so am I...but we can come visit, wherever you may set up your village. Perhaps I will find a gift worth bringing as a thank you for...everything.

Perhaps Kukutux would understand all the thanks Sakhmet had for her as she looked upon the woman with kindness.
