This place was not her choice. Kigipigak said nothing, only accepted this decree; he warmed to the kiss of his wife, and then she broached the subject of her doubt.

Of course not! You worry for nothing. He did not mean to dismiss her worries but that was the tone he held, dismissive, amused. You will see a place that you will want, and it will be home. That is all. If this is not it, this is not it.

She would learn not to doubt her choices; she was learning, as Asivaq had chosen Kigipigak over her own mother and people. He only knew of issumatar women who were forceful and determined, and thought that Asivaq would grow in to these traits over time.
