Ocean's Breath Plateau a psychic wound

it would have brought chakliux some amusement to know that tulugak feared his judgement. him! prolific lover, chosen two years now for the strength of his body and dedication to mothers made even beyond his packlands.
distracted by the tensions of red leaf and ghelan, the seal hunter hunted through his mind. yes. she had been missing again. 
annoyance flickered along his jawline. "she has only just come back. now she stresses her mother again," chakliux groused, though he softened to think of her pretty eyes and upturned face. "for now, come back to the lodges. you are sick. rest. i will send word to dutch," he offered, turning them toward the tiny collection of seal hunter homes.
