Ouroboros Spine Tlatehiin

When he had calmed a little bit (at least enough to take a breath and not drown in his own tears) Tautukpik appeared to sink in to Kukutux' hug. He wiped his face in to her furs and cleared his throat a few times. Gotta get Akmaaksi— she was all he had left now, and he had to make sure she was awake and moving.

He drew away from Kukutux sullenly and rushed to where his sister slept, pulling at her ear, nosing at her face, giving her many kisses while gobby tears dripped from his cheeks. C'mon, gramma is here. Up, now.

As he hurried outside again he had his sister following, and together they crowded Kukutux for another hug before being led away.
