Sialuk's mouth twisted when Meerkat explained her trouble. She thought briefly of Kigipigak. And while the situation was not an exact mirror, Sialuk did feel echoes of her own life in the story.

Hunters are not often wise, Sialuk said. I have dreamt of an ugi for myself since I was a child, and yet no hunter I have met has come close to being worthy. Foxfur, perhaps, but Sialuk had scarcely seen him in the past months. Whether that was her fault or his... well, she did not know. If he had wanted her, would he not court her? And Kigipigak, he had said that he would not fight for her, which was his custom to do so if he had wanted her.
