Ipiktok embraced his little sister in a great bear-sized hug, happy to bask in the attention of kin! He had walked alone for so many nights that the burgeoning man developed a new gratitude for the closeness of family.
“I am well, sister!” Ipiktok proclaimed with a puff of his chest.
He laughed, gentle and warm.
”For I walked farther than any man before me – to the great Taiga of the North.“ Ipiktok could never prove this fact, but it felt good to be regarded as mighty in his sister’s eyes. ”I cannot say any more,“ he teased. ”If I did, I would betray Sedna’s promise.“ And weren’t some things supposed to stay in the circle of men?
“Tell me of yourself,” he wished to know. “What have you learned since I’ve been away?”
