Ocean's Breath Plateau aliuktuq

Seal gave her long-lost friend a good hug and squeezed her arms around him, jovially mashing her face into his brine (and fishy)-laced ruff.

“Och, you’re supposed to say ‘I missed you too’,” she laughed, unaware Raiyuk hadn’t recognized her. She simply chalked up his reaction to the surprise.

Seal released him from her vice-grip grasp but found herself loathe to let him go. Raiyuk, Ray, TJ, Sable… friends and family from her childhood who had departed Moonspear… How Seal wished she could bring them all back!

He offered her his catch. Though, admittedly, Seal was hungry she was more interested in learning the ways of village Moontide.

“How about I go with you? Tae the women’s ulaqs?” Seal proposed. “I ken how tae dry fish, and I havenae been given a proper tour of Moontide. I leave home for Moonspear tomorrow,” she explained, voice somber at the idea that they would be parted again so soon.
