Moonspear cousin

Sialuk came, greeting them kindly. And then instructions were given on how each could begin settling in this new village. Chakliux would be taken to rest, along with Kannoyak's aid; and Nasamik would accompany the star woman to prepare for her husband's care.

A small bit of reassurance then came from Chakliux. It eased her slightly, but not in full. In time, she hoped, things would be better.

Searching past her sea of mixed feelings, Nasamik offered him a sincere smile, and then a kiss upon his cheek before she would go to follow Sialuk. Despite this change, she would go on to adhere to the promise she made to him. A loving wife, an expecting mother, and a trusting friend. 

Now coming to walk beside the Moonspear woman, the young hunter offered a small nodded of both gratitude and respect. For this was now her village and Sialuk had made it so. Before I came to speak with you, I dressed his wounds as best I could. Granted, I am no talented healer, but whatever I managed spared him of infection for the time being. While she knew many things for her still blooming age, mending another was not one of them. In time, hopefully she could come to learn this so that they may not always need be dependent on others for this need. Not that she was grateful, of course — but there was still a fine line with her standards of independence.
