Cameo! <3

The promise of departure had sparked a twofold shifting in Marina, a brightening of mind and soul even as her body faltered anew. Much of her time was spent in preparation for the journey ahead, between caring for the many seal hunter children. And between all of that, she slept.

There was no energy in her for the caribou woman or her plights. Her sympathy was all she could offer — but Marina knew that the woman would be cared for. For now she could only devote herself to her family, to her own health, seeing Chakliux off with an affectionate kiss before she turned back to tending the children.

Soon, she hoped, she would find it in herself to become more.
