while shikoba often busied herself with caring for her newest children, she decided to leave them in the care of @Inutsuk while she ventured out of the ulaq for a stretch of her legs. they were growing bigger and stronger with each passing day; their babbles turned into meaningful words and their legs carried them greater distances. after giving the 3 of them her kisses, the woman was off to hunt.

not too long into her journey, shikoba would make a stark discovery. it was what appeared to be an abandoned nest of goose eggs. 3 of them were left, with no traces of others. and when shikoba cautiously put a nose over them, they felt cold. she was no bird expert by any means, but she did know that geese were incredible parents and never left their nest alone when it has eggs.

she could only assume the worst had happened here. but opportunity raised its head, thus shikoba was quick to search for one of the caribou skins that was prepared long ago to place the eggs inside. it was by chance that she would see moon woman and Sahkmet's child outside of their own den with their own duties with deer hides. a muffled croon is offered to them as the little woman comes closer.

her tail happily wags behind her as she would come to place the skin down and allow for the corners to unfurl, revealing the 3 sizeable eggs inside.
