Kukutux revealed herself to her and Ciri crossed the threshold to move in closer, ducking her head with the aim of pressing her brow to the Moonwoman's pallid throat in a gesture of empathy and respect. She closed her sunshine eyes and drew in deep the smell of her warm pelt, the scent of herbs and snow woven among the tendrils.

I greet you, she said softly, recalling how the Sunshine wolves regarded one another, and she withdrew to seek Kukutux' lovely face. Her dark ears pressed back with the weight of sorrow she felt for the Moonglow mother's great loss. No, nothing, she said softly in response to her concern, unwilling to share her disappointment in the choice she'd made in Chakliux when the duck's heart had surely been broken, I was on my way back, and I... a wolf of Moonsong told me what has happened. Her solemn frown deepened. I am sorry. I wish I'd been here to help.
