Ocean's Breath Plateau [m] i was made to love you

The time she spent with Chakliux was entirely different from the time she had spent with Talisman. Instead of questions and answers after their embrace, she found only a short rest after, eager for more of him. Night gave way to the break of dawn, and Sialuk found herself satisfied with her time at long last, asleep and curled at his chest, listening to the beating of his heart in the dreamscape.

She dreamt of seals, of children she did not yet have, of her current children grown and going off to follow their own paths. The starwoman dreamt of her lovers at home: Argent and Elentari. Their loving looks to one another stirring her own heart. She dreamt of taataa, his handsome dark face, and the face of braataa before he had become the thing he was now. She wept to see their faces, told them she would see them again many, many seasons from now, and woke to the sound of seagulls overhead.

The seal hunter snored, and Sialuk kissed his cheek.
