he spoke, perhaps a bit shakily, though every word he speaks makes sense in her ears. his apology for the lack of presence, and then an offering for the next chapter in his young life. and while he does not say directly to her that he longs for the saltwater, somehow a mother always knows what weighs on her children's hearts.

shikoba was no different. and for a moment, there is a sense of strain on her face. it does not linger, and if perhaps he asks about it, she may lie and say it was someone pressing on her innards rather than the harsh realization that her son was leaving home once more.

but she let the pain go, as she has learned to do during her times in these mountains. "don't be sorry," she comes to reassure him "your anaa is not very exciting to be with while pregnant." a small little flutter of laughter settles.

"if the saltwater calls your name more than these mountains," she looks down towards her feet for a moment, "then you should go where you feel needed." she did not want to send him away again, but it was time for mojag to find his calling; shikoba knew she could never fulfill such a journey for him. 

and so, another kindness only she can give is her blessing for the boy to spread his wings.
