Ouroboros Spine a gnawing feeling

she was welcomed, as she always was when in the presence of moon woman. the woman is sure to show her thanks with a brush of her nose against the cheek of kukutux.

her eyes wander to little callyope as a small smile sprawls on her face. a beautiful little girl who would learn the colorful traditions of Moonglow. what pride sun man and moon woman must feel to have welcomed such a wonderful litter into the world.

her focus breaks as she hears a voice bring her back. a solemn shake of her head. no words had been given to her, only silence. "shikoba not sure why inutsuk left." perhaps he was ashamed of having only a single child, but even then, mojag carries part of inutsuk within himself, the same way the child carries spirit of shikoba.

"shikoba worried if, if, if I did something wrong." something to celebrate as she finally has learned a new way to refer to herself, yet it must be said while she ponders the absence of her husband. "mojag need father." her little warrior could only grow so much with his mother's influence.
