A singular word stuck out to Sialuk in the moment he sang back: "his." She chewed on it, not wishing to rush into a thought that was not true. When he spoke again, he used similar phrasing, and Sialuk chewed on that, also. She knew that Argent had wished for that title, and Elentari for mother, but she had not expected Chakliux to think of any of her children as his own. Perhaps she had misjudged him. Or perhaps she should have chosen her own words more carefully.

A single girl was born from me, Maggak. Elentari gave us a single boy, Acrux, she said, her wording more careful, but warm. Did you bring news of Nasamik and Raiyuk? she asked, eager to hear how they settled in Moontide.
