Hoshor Plains eumetopias

the smell of familiar foods came to her nose and sulukinak felt intensely homesick.

the woman was preparing something; when it was laid out it was placed before sulukinak as if to tempt her closer, and by that point all was lost. the girl ignored any of the cues that alerted her body to be nervous and was zeroed-in on the food. she came to the bark and with one look at the woman (as if to ask permission) she was eating.

the woman asked about ariadne, who sulukinak did not know. she felt as though she should know this name; but also, the morsels of food had her distracted. she flashed her eyes to the woman again and licked her lips, but did not answer, and ate another thing, and another.

after, she sniffed the bark as if there might be something hiding there, and relished the scent of the fats and the meats. she licked her lips, and settled, and then while peering around the space she saw many things piled or arranged, and wasn't sure why.
