Duskfire Glacier to heal our souls

Much to Veteran's delight, Sikuliak accepted his invitation without hesitation. The boys tumbled around in their joyful reunion, and Veteran's excited yips echoed across the glacier. When they finally settled, Siku spoke. 

"I missed you too, Siku," Veteran answered. "What happened..?" He had been gone for so long. The last time Veteran saw him, Siku was still pronouncing his name "Wet-win". 

Their commotion had drawn in a bystander. Although Veteran was deeply curious to hear Sikuliak's story, he swallowed his impatience to greet Calida warmly. 

"Hi, Calida." He thought he remembered her from some errand his mom made him run with her, but it had been a while ago. "I'm Veteran," he reintroduced himself just in case-- "And this is Sikuliak. He just got back from being away for a long time." He would have explained who their parents were next, but it sounded like she already knew all of that.
