nasamik retired from her work for the present. chakliux moved toward the glistening chunks of fatty skinned meat and began to eat with gusto, motioning for kannoyak to join him.
enough talk of wives and lodges, for now. "the man alaric is a good trader. maybe you will take him with you when you travel next."
chakliux was wistful. he would have liked to come as well, but such journeys could take many days. he did not want to be delayed by snow again. a man should not be departed when his children were coming.
chakliux said no more, only ate until his hunger was sated. he looked toward the pile of silken furs where they would sleep. he preferred to be nearest the entrance in case of danger — or a summons from sialuk — and so his wife might lie between them. seal hunters slept as one for warmth. it was all he knew. but perhaps the others would not care for this.
