His wife came and at first froze in place, which earned a small look from Kigipigak; then she raced forth and grasped the man in a hug, and the man pulled away with surprise. Kigipigak was also somewhat surprised and a little defensive, stiffening and taking a quick step closer as if to separate them, but he wasn't sure what to do. Over the course of a few confusing moments the pair appeared to recognize one-another; but the man called her by her old name, and beyond that Kigipigak was too flustered by the sudden collision of the two of them together, he hadn't yet registered that they were siblings.

That should've been obvious, though. They both resembled their father to different extremes; and only when Kigipigak calmed himself and took an emotional step back from the situation did he see it. He quickly corrected this lost brother — Asivaq. We have left behind the moon people to start anew.

He could have explained in greater detail but it was not his story to tell, and beyond that Asivaq might've had a different, more compassionate, way to do it. So he left it with that and settled to working on the deer meat a little longer while the pair had their reunion. Kigipigak kept an ear turned to them though in case things went sour.
