Ouroboros Spine natigvik

It was time.

The family had merged for some weeks with their extended relatives, the boys getting to know their cousins, @Kukutux and @Aiolos witnessing their growth; now as the month began to reach its end, Kigipigak knew they were ready to return.

@Kivaluk and @Akkuma had grown in to themselves. There had been games, and stories, and even hunts among the men folk, with the women communing together some nights in private. Kigipigak was glad for the changes he witnessed in his family. The connections building between Natigvik, Moonglow, and Winterglade; albeit, soured by the news from @Cerne.

He would not let this spoil their departure. If they left one less man, then they left with lighter spirits. Kigipigak would not think on it beyond that.

He called for family to gather. It was time for farewells - but not the forever kind. A kiss spared for @Sakhmet, a happy glance to @Amalia, as they waited together.
