Hideaway Strath sapukutaq

He stops, and watches her. She doesn't take ownership for the movements of her people? The man retains his frown and it seemed to deepen.

A marker makes no sense to me. They will call if they wish to travel our land. If her people did not heed her, that would put them at risk; but it would also prove to Napatuqvik and the people she herself claimed to rule over, that she was weak and unfit. Once they announce that they need passage, they will be escorted that first time to the falls. If they need passage back through, they will do the same but call from the bog.

That seemed simple enough to him. It would also give Kigipigak some idea of how many made up their number, and the composition, as if that might be of use at some point in the future. He knew he should not have expected much from a woman that so flagrantly ignored the markers of Napatuqvik; but he would give her this one chance.

If your people do not learn the path, that is a reflection upon you. If they take food from the mouths of my children, I will expect compensation. But until that happens, this is all we need to have discussed.

Kigipigak felt that everything had been covered, for now. He would return home to report back to his wife, share the dealings with Stratos, and make sure they were prepared for any who called.
