Moonspear feed the bear

Treepie sprawled on their back on “their” overhang, tracing the shapes of clouds with one little black forepaw. They hummed under their breath, a wordless tune. Maybe lyrics would come to them, though perhaps not.

They heard footsteps and arched their head, watching from upside down as Pauk sneaked out of the ulaq. Intrigued by his furtive behavior, Pie flipped over onto their belly, then hopped to their feet. Quickly, they climbed down from their perch to follow after him.

By the time they caught up to their brother, Pauk was hard at work. Tiuttuk’s eyes tracked over his handiwork, wondering if perhaps he was digging a new larder. Or perhaps he was hoping to plant the flower, using the dead fish as makeshift compost.

Why does Pauk dig holes?
Does the fish feed the village?
Or feed the flower?
