Kukutux had meant well by bringing furs, but she had forgotten that Kausiut was more of a wildling that had got through the beginner's guide of the civilized world only. So, where her mother viewed the skins as something to make the den floor softer and warmer for Kausiut to sleep in, her wayward daughter saw them as sources of food. Sure - a juicy piece of fresh meat was always preferable to a furry hide, but she would not have survived living among Walrus hunters had she been a picky eater.
Therefore Kausiut stored all the gifts inside the little pocket of earth she called her home, squatted to mark the doorstep of the den and then hobbled back to her mother. She had suggested going to the mountains - and she was not the first to do so. All of them quite conveniently forgot that Kausiut was not able to do that. What was more - she would not let anyone help her to go anywhere. There she drew a firm line. Therefore she shook her head, refusing the offer.
"You?" she sat down, shifting her weight from the crippled foot to the good one. "Good?"
