Snowforest Taiga [feast] uluktuk ⋽

Tuulu offered a nod of gratitude when the moon woman spoke of his people's power. 

That is my wish too, he assured her. It may not have been my reason for coming, but it is one of my reasons for staying. He also stayed to be close to Isso, and of course because of his feelings for Lane. 

I would like that for both of our villages, Tuulu told her. He secretly wondered if his brother had ever expressed any interest in courting Kukutux; they would make a good pair, and their children would be northern and strong. But he supposed that was a question better asked of his brother. Instead, he added: In the spring, I would like for the children of our villages to meet, if that is okay with Lane and my brother. We could tell them our stories.
