Northstar Vale the finite mind cannot grasp the infinite

Kallik very much wanted Nanuq to return to Mereo with him, but he wasn't delusional; he knew his son wouldn't just forgive him and return to be a big happy family. Kallik had ruined any chance of that. All he could hope for now was that his sons would let him be a part of their lives again. So far, his reaction had been much calmer than his twin's had been. But he wasn't exactly happy to see him either. 

No. I will not make you return to Mereo if you do not want to be there, Kallik assured him. I am here to check on you and to talk if you will allow it. He worried this would end similarly to his reunion with Siku. He tried not to allow himself to hope for anything different, though he knew it would hurt just as much if Nanuq wanted him to leave. Maybe the stars would show him mercy today, but he had never placed much trust in them.
