Altar of Twilight wife

Kannoyak did not reach for a rabbit for himself. He watched Chakliux take slow bites. He wished to be certain that the other man would not need all three catches for himself. The white hunter was not as hungry as he had imagined he might be. Their journey had been more taxing for the wounded seal hunter.

He asked in a croaking voice how long he had slept.

A long time. Your wife has gone to seek the raindrop woman. It looks like she treated your wounds. Kannoyak had been gone hunting for hours. Chakliux had slept the whole time. It was needed, he reminded himself. Strength must be nursed back, not forced. They would need to be careful, if they pressed on with their journey to the mountain.

How did you rest? Did you dream?
