Ouroboros Spine imnaik ⩅

Kausiut joined the meeting only out of obligation to Kukutux. Of all the wolves in the pack she was the only person, whom she obeyed without asking questions, because both within the Walrus hunter village and here - the most experienced woman and mother was respected. The rest - were tolerated, until they proved their worth in the wayward child's eyes.

She observed the company of unknown women quietly - her golden gaze going from one to the other, taking in the details of their faces and adding names to them as well. It was highly likely that she would have forgotten their names by the time they encountered each other next, therefore this exercise to memorize was done purely to form first impressions. With the exception of Skeetch - none particularly stood out of the crowd. All were calm and composed, listened in solemn silence and thanked Kukutux for gifts and wisdom. The dark wolf, on the other hand, was visibly nervous and Kausiut wondered, why that might be.

She was drawn out from her contemplation, when mother gave her a gift. She looked down at the piece of antler, but the time, when she was fascinated by toys had long gone. Sure she would take it and save it somewhere, but for her it held hardly any meaning, while it seemed that the rest gave the items more importance than there actually was.
