Hey, will you be okay? If I go on ahead to Sapphique? she asked gently, sensing this exchange reaching its natural conclusion. I can catch up with you later, after I return to the glacier, she offered. There’s the feast too. Maybe it would lift Sialuk’s spirits. If not, they could always steal away for another chat.
