qupirruarjuit wakes beside the nameless man, and today something is different. a familiar ache rests in her bones, and she nudges her companion with a growl. it is finally time.
she has not been alone with a man since her husband, and she does not relish the feeling. but this one, she supposes, ranks just above the rest. the fact she cannot understand him is a bonus.
the mountain woman begins to circle, hackles bristling, and curls her lip in challenge. they will fight. if he wins, he will bed her and they will part.
she looks at him, gait slowing as he rises from sleep, and she prays for daughters.
