Maybe Tautuk didn't want to go with her. The girls ears melted down to her skull, tucked away in the bedding of her own fur. A question she had considered very intensely came to a rise, so it was now that she was confused that she hesitated.

Why would someone hesitate when they had made their decision so long ago? Answered it for themselves, but when she was asked, she thought again as if she had thought over it for the first time. What about Aaka?

"Nmnyes," she admitted. Why, leaving Aaka would certainly bring more danger to their home. The beasts would come in tenfold in their absence, maybe eat them in their sleep like monsters did, but- 

"What 'bouts Aapa?"

Aaka had their family, and their Aana. Nutu frowned. Her decision concreted again when she remembered she had a new Aapa with her now that wasn't their daddy.

"Who proteckin him? He all alone." Maybe eaten. "That why we gots go save him. Don' know what we do if he need savin'," she drew circles upon the ground with a sway of her wrist and claw, melancholic. What would they do then? What would they do?

"And," a whispering voice, so no one heard, and also because she was sure her voice was giving up. "Den Aaka and Aapa can be happy togeder again."
