Moonspear Put a look on my face and back to your place

who knew sialuk's mind! but chakliux did not say this, only listened to his wife pour out her dismay and frustration to him. 
a soft part of him understood.  a thorny part of him wanted to remind nasamik that they had come together over her pregnancy, that she had not sought the moon woman then, that they had left in disgrace.
now she spoke of kukutux in almost daughterly tones!
silently he looked at her, having stated his wants. but as seal hunter man and woman, they were equal. he could not force her to stay. she could not force him to leave. 
"i have been thinking of taking a second wife," he told her. this want had not been a secret. now it fell to the woman of his lodge to say yes or no. it was his right to have another woman. it was not his right to let her live where nasamik made her home.
and it was her right to say whether or not she would tolerate this. 
"i want many children. you want a village of your own. two wives. one husband. two births. that is our village."
a deal. bartering. would nasamik accept?
