Duskfire Glacier I've got this energy beneath my feet

At the mention of children, Issorartuyok offered his younger brother a small smile.

I am not sure, Tuulu. I may be akkak before I am a father.

There was warmth in his gaze for his youngest sibling. The northerner could not hold his little brother accountable for his own faults. He could not blame him for seeking love for himself, either. These were things that Tuuluuwaq deserved, without doubt. Issorartuyok felt foolish for almost allowing himself to falter. It did not matter if he was unable to find a wife. He had a village to protect. He had family there.

I will be pleased to see spring, regardless.
