With their place among the wolves of the glacier settled, at least for a while, Kigipigak felt more at-ease. He left @Sakhmet among his kinfolk there; she could rest, meet with Lane, learn of the people. It was his joy to see her interact with those of the north and be made one with the customs.

While she was there, he roamed. The valley camp had been a place of certain fascination to the hunter; but as he passed through it again, he found the scent markings of someone he did not expect — the Tartok elder, Tulimaq — and in a fit of sudden rage, ranged further afield.

He crossed the plains now, having expended much of his energy in doing so. It would be better to speak to his wife about this man, to let his feelings be known, but Kigipigak was taught to hold such things within. He was afraid, but he could not show such weakness to his new wife and hope to keep her.

With his mind buzzing, Kigipigak almost did not notice the pair of wolves further along, standing in the snow. He only noticed them when the more darkly marked creature, a woman, began to move along the hillside.

A boof carried across the air to them both as Kigipigak drew nearer; he thought he recognized one, but not the other. If they hoped to hunt in this desolate place, they would need help.

Tag for reference. Hope its OK I drop him in!
