Ouroboros Spine and carried you away into the alligator sky

sorry she's bratty

Though the seagirl was very much at her side, her presence fell away as Moonwoman's gaze bore into her skull. Whatever history her grandmother had with Star Eater's clan was lost on Yura, for she had never met the man who's eye her mother had claimed, never connected the dots between Cen's crimes and the taiga hunters. 

She had been young, after all. Naive. A fawn under old doe's fury, shielded from the worst of it by a father's heart.

"Star Eater is kind - Ice Diver too. I taught them to make pelts, dry meat," as if her grandmother ought to be proud of her for spreading their sunshine ways. But what Kukutux spoke next opened up a sinking pit in her stomach.

What if she stayed? Sent Sobeille away and took her role as the moonvillages expected. As she had always thought she would. Her heart clenched. "You only ever saw me as a girl to take your place. After anaa got sick," eyes stung, slipping into her native tongue, "I realised I didn't want to spend the rest of my life cooped up caring for her. I- there's more out there for me. That Sobeille can show me.

Maybe Nutu was right to run away." Almost immediately as it was spoken did Yura regret it, averting her gaze in near shame.
