Ouroboros Spine atiga-anun

do you hate me?

kivaluk does not expect this question; but his surprise does not soften the harsh plains of his face. do not offer buffer from the glacial temperature of his stare.

the truth was, he did not know.

does it matter? kivaluk differs, offering a question of his own in response. regardless, you will do what you want. you will make my sister your wife and bear her sons, though i wish you would leave my family alone. you have caused us enough pain and grief.

he delivers this line with a quiet chill.

the worst part, kivaluk will speak to him what he spoke to chickadee, so kigipigak could see just how deep a wound he had cut in his son. is i am not sure if it is the fact that i am right and you will leave ariadne and your new sons heartbroken as you left mama and me, or if i am wrong and you find her and your new sons worth staying for more haunting.

both, he thinks, were equally terrible though one more so for him than the other.
