Hoshor Plains i sit and listеn, i polish plates until they gleam and glistеn

kukutux perhaps was sensitive to flippancy given how kigipigak had announced his bond with her daughter in that forest. when ariadne spoke of 'fun,' she fought the close of her face and turned her eyes over the leg.

"it has mended well. straight, like a willow sapling. be careful when the bindings are ready to be taken off. make gentle steps for a time."

she knew that valiant had brought her medicines to ariadne; after a pause the duck spoke directly of what was between them. "the red tea is for you alone. when your fire-time comes, drink it once in the morning and once before you sleep for the night. do this for the sacred seven days. after this, drink it once for nine afternoons. it will help you to keep from exhaustion during the fire-time and open your womb so you are able to conceive. after this, it will bind the children as they grow inside you and give them health in the first days of their heartbeats."

she spoke evenly though her pulse pounded and once more she grated in loathing for kigipigak; but in this way she would show to ariadne her support of their bond.
