Qeya River Pink nose, pearly toes

all that shikoba could think of was mojag.

inutsuk truly must have only returned in spirit form, as he did not seem to stay past the 9 days of waiting before reentering the village. and because of this, her heart only aches more. the lone mother often found herself laying awake at night, often traveling around when she can to call for him to come back home. and each time there was no response, she could feel a piece of her own heart die with her call.

she is tired, in more than one way. run a bit thin with the travel and stress, it is easy to see that shikoba's age is catching up with her. despite her promising muscles and speed, there is no way to stop time. she embraces each day as a chance to change her fate and find her son. but today is meant to focus on their time at natigvik. 

thankfully, the river-dwelling pack would receive another border enforcer. shikoba is seen walking along the edge of the territory, nose low and searching for any signs of her son. and while she tells herself that it all may be hopeless, she still tries. for him. a cold wind blows through her body, and the older woman does her best to not shiver.

assuming that the timeline works with the arrival of mg, lmk if not so I can change! <3
