Ouroboros Spine lii. something has gotten a hold of me lately

for @Aiolos (also @Kukutux for reference, set after this thread and this thread but no rush at all on replying or anything. Just getting caught up with IC events and establishing a correct timeline for Lote. pping @Samani a lil bit.) :)

her tongue felt heavy and twisted in her maw. kukutux would surely have spoken to aiolos by now. every moment, she found her thoughts drawn to the proposal the snow duck had suggested -- wondering fretfully when he might seek her out to discuss it.

it would not be a dreadful thing, she tried to affirm to herself. he was a brother of sorts through kukutux and she had seen how his amber stone eyes lit up only for her. they could be happy, the three of them, even if theirs was only a familial love. she and the ostrega would be sisters through marriage, they would raise their children as siblings. 

the islander's sea girl wrestled playfully with the dove's own son and daughter as she groomed inkalorë's gilded pelt. kausiut lingered with kukutux somewhere in the village and wilwarin merely observed from her spot against the herd-stalker's flank. the mother hummed softly as she worked, the words of the moonwoman's song not entirely remembered though she could recall the sentiment and tune.
