Ouroboros Spine kanevvluk ⫔

Aiolos found settlement along the river, watching the waters as they flowed into the great lake of their home. His head turns at his mate's approach, a smile his creamy mug. She looks to him, with love and with want. As he lay, his tail thumps the ground near him for her to draw closer. He knows his wife's look well- she was wanting something she was uncertain Aiolos would give. 

Kukutux speaks of their daughters: of Sialuk on the Moonspear. Of Samani's engagement to their new first hunter. Kausiut was with the seal hunters. Callyope wanted to walk the spirit path. Now that Mojag had returned to them, perhaps her sorrows would ease, too. Ariadne thus far had stuck to the side of her mother, not yet having the desire to take her own path just yet. Fine by Aiolos, really. 

A co-wife. Kukutux knows her husband just as well, for as he opens his mouth to speak, a slender paws is placed onto his mug to pause him. He grunts in protest but continues to listen. When done, he looks to her and sees the deep desire for this in her eyes, as she had before. 

It sounds to me like we need to make you more daughters, I think. He says with a sheepish grin, made to lighten the air with it. He says this only for a bit, looking beyond her to the river again in thought. 

I don't think anyone could match Lótë. He murmurs and breathes out a sorrowed sigh, wondering where she and much of her children had gone to. Children which they had raised along his own. Children he called his own for everyone who might wonder. She loved you so much. Still did, he hoped, wherever she were. The little dove had been a special case. Young, with many new children and a husband who had so ever quickly discarded them. And so, he reminds Kukutux of this. Lótë and her children were abandoned but when she found another, the man's name escaped him, her new pup did not take our name. I'm not sure who might think to lie with another, but call the children as Nuiruk or if said man would relinquish his rights. Unless they didn't know and were never told. A messy bit of drama to have. 

Not only had Kukutux desired it of Aiolos, but it was a selfless act. Lote needed them in those times. She had joined their family where hers had become broken. Now, this time, Kukutux asks again, but it is not for any particular woman in need. Still, however quiet Aiolos was, he was watchful. Kukutux had been at her happiest with Lote at her side, sharing their duties together, watching the herd of children play together. A sister-wife had given her things which Aiolos could not. 

Who might you consider...? He wonders then, trying to think of who she might consider. There was none which he was particularly close to. The females he was were his own daughters, of course, along with @Shikoba, though he and she more so grunted and woofed at one another in passing more then much else. Sakhmet was wed to Kigipigak and the other two females in the ranks were the aging of Samani and Kausiut. He thought to those women who had come and gone- Qadira, Keyni, Towhee, Lunaria... Aiolos could not imagine who Kukutux might have on her mind. Perhaps none just yet, in this moment.
