Ouroboros Spine chaguthil

It was Iḷitqusiq who would speak first, after a pregnant pause. A promise to tell more stories.

Kigipigak appreciated the effort the man was making to keep him entertained, and tried to smile; he nodded just enough to show he agreed — welcome to future tales — but he did not say anything.

He was too tired and the mending of his body took all the energy that Kigipigak had. As for his now fragile spirit, perhaps the stories that Iḷitqusiq would share in the coming days could help him begin to mend that, too.

I'll fade it here! :)
