Kildeer Rest only the beginning

Why had Kukutux led them here? Sialuk struggled to understand. Was the hunting at the spine not good enough? Was there some ulterior motive? Her (unasked) questions had not been answered, but she felt threatened when Kigipigak asked them.

You think anaa led us here only to hunt? Sialuk asked. Her thoughts are far beyond hunting, Kigipigak. Even the raindrop was smart enough to know this without asking. Kukutux was a matchmaker first and a moonwoman second. Sialuk had not realized until now the extent of anaa's plan here. With Kigipigak's "admission" of attraction to Lane, it was perfectly clear to Sialuk.
