Moonsong Glacier erginathus

with the arrival of ulloriaq, sulukinak began to keep her distance from dutch. she liked to hear his laughter and to see him smiling, and to hear him making rhymes, while at the same time she found it bothersome that it was someone else that brought these things to life for him. he was happy; that was good, even if it wasn't sulukinak that could make him happy in this different way.

she voyaged inside of the glacier — to what could have been the heart, branching in to one atrium or another.the corridors were pristine. some entrances were so vast that sulukinak could run and count her steps, and be out of breath before she'd reached the other end of the archway. other holes looked too narrow for even her slender figure. she would be careful as she explored.

as immense as the glacier was, and as impossible as it might have been to see every hollow in the network of rooms, sulukinak was glad for the distraction.
