I havent got internet yet, so this is a cameo!

Soon after their relocation, a voice carries to his ears. Kigipigak experiences a myriad of feelings when he recognizes that voice: elation, followed by concern, followed by a distinct heartache that is so strong he is nearly knocked off his feet.

As he moves steadily towards the border where Sakhmet waits, Kigipigak cannot help the sense of shame that arrives upon him; days before Natigvik had stood strong, and now the remnants struggled to integrate.

He spied Kivaluk first, and saw that he approached two figures - one, the sivulik, while the other was Sakhmet. Their other son was not there.

Kigipigak stopped. He knew in his heart he could go no further; the heartache felt like an infection, seeping through him. He would watch the reunion from a distance instead. There were questions he could not ask. Feelings he dared not entertain. So while Kivaluk welcomed his mother, Kigipigak held off - mourning what was, as he turned away.
