Ouroboros Spine i am made of memories

it is not long before his path crosses with the sunking's and when the older man lets out a woof of greeting, kivaluk returns it with a wag of his tail and a bow of his head.

always, there had been a weird sort of lack of certainty on how to view aiolos — sunking, husband of his mom but not husband to his mama ... was ( somehow ) just easier.

even if, realistically, he was the only real father figure that kivaluk had left; had pretty much grown up around.

has mom told you that i'm courting chickadee? kivaluk asks, and then adds before the sunking has a moment to answer. she told me to seek you out. ... mom did, i mean. though why perhaps, is a bit of a mystery to kivaluk.
