Moonsong Glacier allegations

sulukinak listened.

she knew that the red woman had fled the women's circle, but had not expected her to be gone when they'd returned to the glacier. to think it was her own words that had undone someone like that did not make sense to her, and so her mind did not tread there.

one of those gathered asked after ariadne and sulukinak, frowning, shot them a look but stayed quiet. there were too many people gathered even now, although it was different from the plains hunters, she was still uncomfortable.

had she known that her question, which was meant without judgement, would be taken as such an insult she probably would have asked it anyway. the girl had been isolated too long to know what was considered rude or taboo, and had only spoken openly, as she was welcome to do; however, there were consequences sulukinak did not yet see.
