Ocean's Breath Plateau eld-aunt

chakliux brought a fish from the sea to the lodge of his wife @Tullik.
he had wrestled in the cold saltwater for a long while with it; his shoulders and his neck hurt.
but in its mouth he had stuffed turtle eggs, paused to purloin from a nest on his way up the beach. 
"annak," chakliux greeted with a tired grin when he had set the fish down in its butchering-place.
inside her lodge, he spoke almost completely in seal hunter words, pausing to translate a sound or phrase for tullik. she wished to be a seal hunter, and so she would be one. "kakiniq," he said as he relaxed along the warm lodge-wall. "markings. for your face, like the ones on my face and my shoulders. what do you think?"
