The two appeared to be bickering! But it was the man that clarified some things. Kilgitsuk understood now why they were so hot and bothered; they were young, perhaps having never dealt with this before. If he sensed anything upon the wind he was able to shut down any desires - Kilgitsuk only had eyes for his wife, as distant as she was to him.

However it was the man's comment to the shadow - the naming of Heda, and the attempted dismissal - which brought things full circle. Kilgitsuk paced on the spot, suddenly quite animated.

Heda? I know of a Heda - she is a friend! He had not seen the girl in some time. Was it the same person? He presumed so, as the name was uncommon. Except, she would not know him by this new name, and so things became... complicated. It is good to hear she is doing well. His good feeling stagnated a moment, realizing what the shadow was suggesting.

He was a stranger to them both. There was no way to prove otherwise, and so they meant to guard him and see him away. That was fine, if a bit disheartening. Kilgitsuk settled upon his haunches and looked between the two of them, a bit perplexed. If it better suits you both, I could make camp here and depart in the morning.
