Neverwinter Forest deepest forest, darkest wood

When Vaire went on to explain, in a stilted manner, how abandoned she felt — at least that is what Kilgitsuk understood of her pain in the moment — he felt a kinship with her the likes of which could not be put in to words!

It was so much like how Sakhmet had gone; but he remembered keenly how they had argued over what to do about the soft-hearted son they shared, and in the end Kilgitsuk could not convince her against leaving.

And then to return without him! To return as if she had not been the reason for Natigvik's fall! It burned Kilgitsuk even now to think of; he felt the same as Vaire over his own situation, over being betrayed and abandoned and for losing, and it felt good to have someone else hurting similarly (as selfish and cruel as that thought was).

Vaire had lost her mother twice. It was not the same as losing a wife, but it was a loss, and to that end Kilgitsuk commiserated, and let Vaire put to words her feelings in a way that Kilgitsuk could not.
