"shikoba thinks inutsuk has fear," she says softly to kukutux, "inutsuk won't name one. he's quiet about past." while shikoba would like to leave things left unsaid between her and her husband, she can't help but search for advice when she is with the duck. considering the fact that the matriarch has spoken to the man plenty of times, perhaps she would know more of this.

"shikoba try to talk to inutsuk, but it just makes inutsuk upset. does sun man keep secrets from kukutux about his past?"

poor shikoba is still unaware of how personal of questions she tends to ask. not to mention she is still learning that each marriage is a tad different from others. kukutux would have to forgive her ignorance.
