with kigigpigak and ariadne both away, kukutux sought to distract the two children with as many rich treats as she could bring from her grandmother's larder: rosepetals rolled in honey, rich raspberries and the tart blackberries, the ever-present fat from caribou and elk and today, deer; boar's ears to chew and to keep.
