She had stayed with Atautsikuk until they had established, and then, she had left. Theirs had not been a bad village, but a wanderlust still drove the youngblood and after seeing so many there taking mates and bearing pups, she did not think she was ready to settle after all.

“Uaq!” she piped in her mother’s tongue - surprised that she’d found another here.
