Ouroboros Spine Waiting on that morning sun

she had not formally met this woman, though the words whispered between shikoba and her sister was enough knowledge for star hunter to know that this woman was a part of Moonglow. but it was not an act of kindness that would drive the shikoba to nasamik, but rather an act to serve and shield.

shikoba has felt the many cycles of heat and knows that courting males would be brave and willing to trespass for a whiff of her. shikoba would not stand aside and allow for such an act of ignorance. however, her wisdom has come with age and she certainly knows that nasamik is not to blame. she has not left to breed, unlike the last pale woman who stayed within the spine.

star hunter holds a small partridge in her mouth and offers a chuff of greeting to nasamik from the mouth of her ulaq. the bird was nothing more than a greeting gift, though the real intent behind her visit would come later.
