She worried after him now, as a wife might. Getting in some good practice. The thought made him smile - although he still held a distracted look within his eyes; I am alright.

About... what your parents said, he began carefully, knowing that they both ached in different ways over that conversation, If you do not want to marry me, I understand. What Kukutux said of kinship ties, was not wrong. That you are my son's age — but the thought of Kivaluk now made him pause again, and he could not finish his words.

Kaluktuk looked upon Ariadne with such a sadness, then, and while he tried to stow it for her sake, he wasn't too successful. He was a grown man and had been married once before, he knew what it all entailed, and he was determined to get it right this time. But she was young, she had such freedom now.
