Ocean's Breath Plateau tigumiak

chakliux did not ask to dig a cache closer to @Marina's den. he simply did so, and put wide leaves inside as he had seen women do, and laid in a store of fresh salmon, caught before they could began their migrations.
his body which had been stockier upon the mountain now had adopted a flatter and leaner look, and he stayed often in the sea for the pleasure of it.
after all, he was seal hunter, born to far colder waters. 
when he was not part of the sea he was hunting upon their land or searching for nasamik. she had never come home, and he had internalized that in a half-dozen ways.
chakliux shook out his fur upon the beach and gazed down the shoreline in the direction of hljódrfell.
