Sea Lion Shores Spoils of Sea

kivaluk was called, along with others.

a hunt!

though the ironheart and stonestomach remain ever symptoms of tulukiri's death to the young natigvik, kingullimik is eager to focus upon things to help make him forget.

hunting. patrolling.

quietly searching for any signs of his father despite that his mother appears to have found new happiness with kukutux and aiolos.

they have not spoken of it but kivaluk is smart and can sense change in sakhmet when he sees her.

a small twist of his gut is given though, thinking that this trip was meant to be for him and sakhmet alone but that it did not happen like that. he didn't begrudge her her happiness but he cannot help the lashing sting of ...jealousy? that he feels all the same.

for now, he sets these ugly things away to focus on their quarry: seals; waiting for word that the hunt would begin.
