Ouroboros Spine Who hung the moon

Usually Kausiut was very conservative about her routines and ways, how she did stuff. Any detours from the known pattern of her life was met with resistance, frowns and in extreme cases anger. However, when she felt that change was necessary (or she simply wanted it), the move was easy and seamless.

That was the case with her obsession with items. The game itself had rules that only Kausiut knew, but by now it had evolved from her mindlessly mimicking Sialuk's and Ingram's actions to her playing it with people instead. And with Samani - a willing and voluntary subject, unbeknownst to her - she decided to try something different.

She picked out a piece of driftwood, which she had brought back from their last trip to the ocean, and put it by her sister's paws. She nosed it towards her and then said: "Name?" Kau sat down and with her head tilted to the side, waited for her sibling to catch up with the game.
