Ouroboros Spine And I don't remember why I came

just a cameo. feel free to skip! if kivaluk is needed at all just tag me! <3

kivaluk is close when the call rises, though it is shikoba who beats him to interception; thus he hangs back in the shadows of the trees: a silent, stony sentry. it is the golden hued boy he met days prior while he'd been tracking a deer herd.

kivaluk is not surprised to hear that he is searching for his sister here and feels only a stab of pity. it felt like a fool's errand: like the goldenkissed boy was chasing a ghost, driven solely by his own hope. but just because a shattered relationship with his own sibling had turned kivaluk's feelings on things cruel and sharp edged did not mean it was so for everyone.

so, he keeps silent: watchful ( though shikoba does not need his presence ) but not interested in interacting unless directly addressed.
