Qeya River kinnaktuk

The call is one she knows well enough — it is the rallying call of her tutor, and Tulukiri is more than happy to oblige him. She had spent many hours working alongside Kigipigak to better herself and the unit she was pledged to, and to be called by name in this way bolsters a sense of pride within her, as well as feeling very familiar.

When she does appear, she is not alone. There is a gray-brown boy standing before Kigipigak who she does not know, and she is immediately on her guard; but also, her tail is raised with the same prideful bearing she carried before Amalia, and she cast a possessive glare towards the boy. He couldn't have been much older than herself, although he was broad-shouldered and growing in to his legs.

Reporting in, sir! She cajoled of Kigipigak, standing to-attention as she had been taught by Tulimaq a month ago; but this was clearly in jest, and she side-eyed the boy. Whose the runt?
