Ocean's Breath Plateau grandheart

chakliux was preparing to leave once more. one day he called a halt to @Raiyuk's training and took them both ashore, back to the lodge of tullik where marina now also lived.
"this place, it must be made larger," he explained, stepping back to measure the lodge with his eyes. "this i wish for you to do while i am away. tullik will help you. but you must bring the things that are needed."
mud, stones, pine boughs, birchbark in large curls. the lodge was situated in close-set, strong trees. chakliux felt another space could be accurately added. "each time a new person comes to live in a lodge, we must give another place. this way, good emotions can be maintained inside when we are trapped by snow, and must live together all day."
a pause. "build a place also for matteo, a sleeping place. have him help you."
chakliux looked at his son with a gentle eye for a moment. "i will be gone much longer this time, raiyuk."
