It was pleasing to hear that Cerne would join them after all. Kigipigak was glad to have him. Even if he had been resistant to the man's spirituality and did not understand him in a deeper sense, he knew better than to turn away a willing body who could help provide for his sons.

Good! It will make life for all of us easier by having you along, and we can show you the way. Kigipigak praised Cerne warmly, then in a calmer tone - a more serious one - he focused entirely on the man while Sakhmet spoke to the boys. I thank you for your loyalty to us. Our friend who we will introduce you to, she believes in spirits, and perhaps together you can find some common ground.

With that said, they would depart.

Kigipigak looked to the riverside and beckoned for his sons to join him, and whether they did or not, his gaze soon found Sakhmet's. Let us say farewell to our village! We will return and make it ours again, but for now, we thank the river — may we meet again! It was a little bit too silly to be natural, but Kigipigak was in a good mood and he wanted his sons to have a good experience rather than think this was a bad thing.

He lifted his chin then, and sang of Natigvik.
