Moonsong Glacier ayagaa

ariadne spoke at once of love, which froze the man in surprise. love was not something discussed, for love did not always have the same meaning. his past; chakliux took this to mean that the moonwoman had spoken of aiolos and nasamik.
ariadne was upset, and this he could not understand. he was not a man for one woman and had not represented himself ever in this way. he was a good lover and hunter, but this was not what she wished from him.
"you want me as a husband?" he asked slowly, softly. a good part of chakliux had assumed that she would want attachments with he among others, as head of her own village. 
what then did she want to signify his feeling?
