akmaaksi put a paw on tautukpik's tense arm, seeking his eyes.
their climb had been rigorous. she did not even think he had spoken once, consumed as they both were with the mortal gnaw of pain which overtook their legs.
she was not disappointed to stop, only firmly conscious of his emotions. it was important that they slow and rest.
many times akmaaksi had looked back toward moonglow. in their own time they would have departed; resentment had settled into her spirit as she felt driven out.
she made camp in silence; she lay out the dried meat grandmother had given them and placed two pelts on the ground beside each other.
but firegirl did not eat, and she did not lie down. her ears continued to twitch, listening to the sea and the wind upon it.
