Ouroboros Spine Nix

After staying with walrus hunters Kausiut did not hold men in particularly high regard. They were useful - yes, but the group she had stayed with had instilled a sense of superiority towards the opposite sex. Save for one individual - her father. He had left a lasting impression on her, though much of the memories from her childhood had already been forgotten. She had seen him briefly after Kukutux had accompanied her from the borders, but had not exchanged more than a nod of acknowledgment and respect.

Kausiut was a complex personality, the makings of her mind were hard to understand and quite often she herself did not have the full grasp of, what exactly she felt or how to act. Social situations, while a necessity at this age, were still difficult and awkward to them. Therefore, when Aiolos came and after greeting her sat down to observe the elk in silence, she felt more at ease. He did not expect anything from her and therefore her usual dislike for having people in her sphere of personal space was not triggered. She was free to speak in her own time.

Which she eventually wanted to do, but did not know, what to say. So she turned her head to eye him with curiousity and expectation. As if she willed him to say something again.
