Firefly Ravine teach me what I have not yet learned

Just as she had bid, Inutsuk sat alongside her. 

These questions she asked — they were important; that he knew. He looked down to his paws think, lips tugging to a short smile. Meanwhile, the face of sivullik had come to mind, mesmerizing and lacking no beauty.

I think they do, yes. And her voice... it's the sound of a bird's song when the sun wakes. Alluring and soft like a lullaby — enough to invite a soothing slumber.

The thought of children is ever-so tempting and if she were to want them, then they she would have. My father was no kind and guiding soul. I never foresaw the day to come that I would find a companion... but, it has always been my vow that I would treat any future children of mine better than he had I. As much as I can control, I will make different; better.

The man finally rose the eyes from his feet, meeting Kukutux' soft gaze. 

Then the final question: Was there trust?

It is not for me to answer what Shikoba finds in me. Only she can. I will not assume by word or gaze, nor fantasize what I think should be true. The words were stern in the sense of honesty and promise. Later, he would ask and learn the truth himself.
