Ocean's Breath Plateau caught in the waves

When Kukutux embraced her, Seal laid her head against Moonwoman’s shoulder and took a deep breath.

From her words, Seal began to understand what it meant to support someone. Give them space. Give them time. Be near, should they need you. Bring food to fill their bellies, even if their heart was empty.

“I will, Kukutux,” Seal agreed. “Sialuk is a dear mentor to me… I will be there for her through thick and thin,” she swore.

She offered Moonwoman a smile to show she had new optimism.

“You have new faces in your village. The little ones,” Seal observed. “One even has a red tail just like my Da. But I havnae seen Arrluk, Kassuq, Massaraq, or Ajei. Could they not come?” she asked.
