Moonsong Glacier akiaguk ¤ {m}

I admit, I did not know her that well. It was with some humility that Kilgitsuk realized, he probably should not have said anything at all. Being reminded of a loss was painful; he knew that sting very well. There were moments where Moonglow hunted the caribou with us in the Taiga, and I remember seeing her in passing among the women as she worked the furs and hides. I... am sorry, that isn't enough.

Kilgitsuk went quiet. He kept an eye on the path and was wary now of offending Ariadne with further conversation. This was not his finest moment; it would have been better to speak of anything else, rather than try to comfort her! What had be been thinking? But he knew — wanting only to alleviate some aspect of her grief.
