Moonstone Quarry the yoko factor

private for all those coming with sialuk to moontide! we can just do a single round here for timeline purposes. set for the evening of the 29th, and they'll get to moontide on the 30th. :)

pp'ing seal, since lieu's on vacation for now.

@Maggak @Acrux @Whip @Orca II @Rodyn @Panuk @Rolayne

@Seal and the other adults had their work cut out for them. Maggak and Acrux were plenty old enough for the journey, but Panuk and Rolayne were younger and needed help along the way. The adults formed a sort of protective circle around the children as they made their way north toward the plateau, eyes keen for any signs of less-than-friendly types.

She had paused briefly near Moonglow to call for @Kukutux, letting anaa know that they were making their way there. There had been a brief idea floated that all the children might get together and meet amongst themselves there. She had left @Alaric in charge of the spear until they returned, sure that the village would be safe in his calm and capable paws.

They had left early that morning, and as the sun began to grow low and heavy in the sky, Sialuk slowed and gathered the caravan around her.

We will rest here tonight, she said, Tomorrow, we will find ourselves in Moontide. Her chest tightened thinking of the grave they would find there, of the songs she must sing before she could return to the spear. It must be done, and nobody else could do it for her. She sent a gentle glance to Rodyn, hoping he still planned to sing with her.

Tonight, she would find herself tucked against Tullik's form, provided he was open to it.
