Valiant out

She knew Arrluk personally, it seemed, and she had the sort of name he associated with Vaïre's family. Perhaps he recognized it as a name that had been spoken to him before — but as they'd not met before now, he didn't think she'd be interested in any erstwhile relation they had. That tie, he thought, must now only matter to Arrluk.

Still.

"It was nice to meet you, Tiuttuk," he said sincerely, a wan smile on his face.

Valiant greeted Arrluk and Chinook before politely excusing himself. He still had newborns and a wife to feed, after all.
