Silvertip Mountain You Follow me i'll do my best

despite kivaluk's slight hesitation upon approach, he is greeted amicably and the tension begins to melt from his shoulders. his tail gives a small wag as he takes in rodyn's grin, taking it to mean that if kivaluk and his awkwardness had been noticed at all at his wedding that it was not held against him.

the purpose of the call is quickly made apparent: shikoba was promoted and so, too, was rodyn. ...and he was to be trained to be second hunter.

this surprises him, if only because he knows he is young. for a moment, doubt clouds him and he wonders if there was someone older and more experienced that the prestige should go to.

kukutux explained the hunter tiers. third and second and first when we were discussing trades a few days ago. that he'd been a consideration for any of them was not something kivaluk had been expecting. but i hadn't expected i was in consideration for any of them. he admits; sheepish.
