Ravenshook Cliffs [m] Spring Fling

argent had left, and chakliux thought him at once a fool. a man did not walk away from what he had built, and now in anger he wondered if the new young ones at sialuk's belly also shared such blood.
it did not matter. the shadows pulled at his scarred shoulders. "i am sorry, elentari."
maggak. acrux. an entire mountain village. two beautiful women. what was there to leave? 
sialuk. a smile played upon his mouth. "i am favored to be one of her choices. for another year i will bring meat to her hearth."
which was also elentari's hearth, his senses reminded him. thus far he had remained rather poised, but this close to the archer and she might see the wanting in his face. "you are strong, star hunter. but i know the pain of this must be harsh to your spirit." was that why she had come alone, seeking? would she replace argent in deed if not heart? chakliux approved.
