Ouroboros Spine puyuk

He was glad to hear the man so enthusiastic! It meant his story had been a good one, and that he had perhaps impressed Chakliux with the tale. This pleased Mojag a great amount - he had very little in the way of male companionship these days, and felt that he had found a friend at last.

As for the women he held as friends, They are... sisters, but not kin. Or... Kin, but not true sisters? He knew that was confusing. He was confused by it himself! I am my mother's only child, he explained. But the village raised me too, and so I.. suppose, they are my sisters in that way.

He did not know if what he said mattered to Chakliux. He didn't understand why blood bonds would make these women taboo, or any of that. The boy was fortunate for being unrelated to those of Moonglow, truly, but he did not see the truth of that yet.
