Ouroboros Spine Sweet Summer pie

the river and fishing! a gleeful smile comes over her face as she nods her head to her daughter. hunting is an everyday task to some, but one for nobility in shikoba's mind. and for a moment, she must wonder if her daughter could ever take the position of first or even second hunter. perhaps she could talk to Sialuk about some bone readings for their futures, if she ever grew deeply interested.

"the rivers," she comes to say to her softly, "can be dangerous if you are not careful. they have a current underneath, where the water may pull you down if you are not strong enough." thankfully, the river present in the spine did not harbor one of such strength, but there was a bit of a tug that could be felt by even the steadiest of legs.

Shikoba would come to stand at the edge before walking in just deep enough where her toes are covered. and she looks back to Ajei to invite her to follow and stay close, if she chose to. "can you feel how it rushes over your toes?" she comes to ask, watching as she sees the water divert over her paws and create a slight drag in her tawny furs below. "the current is the life of the river, the heartbeat. it keeps the fish happy too."
