kukutux kissed aiolos gently, and nodded in understanding at callyope. ariadne was her birth-sister, given first breath alongside her in that warm ulaq. of course she must know.

kigipigak received her last look before she turned back to panuk. as the sounds of the others' trail died away, she mustered a fond, playful look for her grandson. "here in this place, a woman once lived. but first she had made moonglow village her home, and was loved by a man of ice."
