cameo!

akiak, or ghelan as someone once refuted, whines for his aaka. until now, she's been still unless occasionally shifting into a more comfortable position. akiak always pressed up against her, saving him the effort of having to wriggle towards her. 
but now, she moves, speaks, and cries — all of which ripples through her body and thus pushes against the once sleeping akiak. all he could really do now is push himself to a teat and hold on for dear life. 
completely unaware of the visitor and her turmoil.
