those tagged welcome! male chars welcome to cameo as having recognized there was an exclusive gathering lol. we will do this in rounds! please let me know if i forgot anyone!

ariadne and kigipigak sickened kukutux.

they were quite obvious with the turn of her daughter's season, but it was not for the act itself that she held irritation. such was natural with one's mate; she did not expect ariadne to wait until they had returned to moonsong, not if sedna called her now.

it was how kigipigak's possessiveness was so open, as if he used ariadne for his own power and nothing else. that he wished for all to see them was in moonmother's mind a deliberate devaluation of her daughter. ariadne was no object to be flaunted in front of so many eyes, not when kukutux remembered how rudely he had come to her the first time, once more utilizing the obvious claim to her child's form to perhaps cow her. remind her.

if he had come in such perfume but spoken first of ariadne, it would not have been such a rude thing.

but he had not. this had been a silent message from kigipigak, and now kukutux saw only that he proclaimed this often. not only to her, but to the moonvillages, the others who had come, the father of his own bride. he was not a man who had ever raised daughters; his crudeness in this open folly said as much.

the moonglow leader almost did not call the woman's circle, preparing instead to leave as she folded herbs into their packets of leather and insisted that the healers who had helped her take as much of these things as they should wish.

through the hours, moonmother argued in her own mind, and with lynx and tooteega. she was a woman, yes! she had chosen him and she went eagerly with him into this fire-time. but kukutux had already accepted this! what she had never accepted was him.

in the end, she saw the calling of women and girls together as perhaps a last attempt to remind ariadne of her sunshine upbringing and the strong threads of culture which had been built long before her birth, to touch the spirit-name inside her heart. to encourage the moonsong woman remembrance of old ways as she turned to a husband whose own were bloodied and ruthless.

and so just before the afternoon light began to pale into evening, moonmother stood up sharply at her camp and called to those roundabout and near, to gather if they wished for a time of communion and sharing of knowledges for them alone.

to this meeting she did not expect any of brecheliant, but let it be known they too were included no matter what had gone on. for chickadee she did this.
