Ouroboros Spine a gnawing feeling

the nature of men can often be strange, shikoba worries that this type of occurrence with inutsuk's absence may grow to be a frequent part of mojag's life. he would need consistency, as a schedule often can let a child bloom into the best version of themselves. constant change creates no sense of permanence or importance, at least, this is what the sivullik thinks based on her own upbringing.

a solemn nod of the head, she knew kukutux was always right about these things. shikoba has always placed her entire trust in the woman, there was no reason not to believe her now up to this point. the simple gesture brings a small, grateful smile to the woman's lips, though the following question causes it to falter.

with a monogamous family and lifestyle, shikoba could not see herself abandoning inutsuk, despite how frustrated she felt with him for being gone. if mojag has the chance to be known and loved by his true father, that is all that shikoba wants for him. she would shake her head lightly.

"shiko-- I, love inutsuk. but just... worried about mojag. worried mojag knows his father gone." what would he think in his little mind? that his father doesn't love him and walked out on him and his mother? hopefully, such a complex idea would not come across quite yet, but nonetheless, shikoba worried. "what would kukutux do?" perhaps this would help push the woman onto the right path of correcting this little wobble in her marriage.
