tagging everyone and leaving the post open ended to join or not! <3 have added a couple packs to the map, can add more!

there was a great grin for valiant as he approached.

and there was a deep love in her when she glanced to @Rodyn. how strong was the man whom her sea-walking-girl had chosen. how faithful he had been to the ways of her heart and her people.

@Heph! her eyes danced with pleasure; she opened her arms for the traveler, delighted to see how so many had come together.

kukutux had stayed with arrluk and vairë, taking her own turns in tending @Ipiktok and @Salaksartok. @Nasamiituuq and @Ajei too she traveled with, and had offered as well to bring @Maggak and @Acrux. "when we come to the long hunt, you will help me to put things away," moonmother instructed the grandchildren which had accompanied her. ajei and nasamiituuq were given a separate murmur; she meant to retain them as ilisaijuq for the purpose of medicine. perhaps if the others saw them remain with the duck, they might too find their own interest.

so very many wolves had gathered!

kukutux walked among them with curiosity shining in her jadestone eyes, her shoulders swathed in grey rabbit.

it was not only valiant who greeted her. a golden woman who had the name of reverie also shared kind words with the duck. they would speak again, kukutux assured.

it was good to have @Aiolos at her side and to see arrluk among her children. thoughts reached in misted rosewater for the spirits of @Kassuq and @Massaraq, her sons not yet returned from their spirit-walking. @Inkalorë received the warm attention of moonmother and a request that the returned young wanderer assist kukutux in forming their camp.

good hides had been brought from moonglow and now the duck spread them beneath the shadow of several oaks beside which ran a river. her medicines were divided by malady and then amount; here upon the plains it might be necessary to gather such things as golden taiga and antelope root. the river would be important for working the large bison hides, and for washing the inevitable wounds that would arise.

@Chickadee worked alongside moonmother, though often kukutux saw her eyes glancing for @Kivaluk, and smiled softly to herself.

suppose they married here?

from the young woman's gasped murmur, the duck saw that @Maia had come. they must speak, she decided, offering the brecheliant leader a long look of respect if she managed to catch the other's eye. @Seal was given a warm kiss, a knowing look. the girl was shedding the childish nature; she saw a woman wanting to take form.

her eye then saw @Raiyuk, and perhaps seal might see a slight inclination of the pale head toward the seal hunter boy. and then she was calling to mojag in surprise and pleasure, welcome for his return upon her lips.

njord too, a shout from kukutux through the throng!

she tried not to look for ariadne, though her jadestone eyes fluttered in relief to see her younger approaching the older in sialuk, who glowed with the confidence and pleasure bestowed by the mountain.

and so kukutux turned back to her greetings, to the work there was to be done, allowing herself to experience all the joy and delight of this day.

@Shikoba would perhaps come with chiteo; there would always be a place beside kukutux for the star hunter, and her eyes lifted often to look for the familiar friend who had so greatly supported her.
