It had been a slow journey, down from the Spine, and definitely one unsponsored by any healer, but Vairë needed to know.
So, she dipped into the forest that was to house Winterglade, before everything. In her mouth, she carried a skull, the fox skull that had once resided in the red pelt thrown over her back. It was in the center of the once village that she planned to place it, bidding an end to her girlhood. She was to be a married woman, to bear children, this year she hoped. And to do so, she needed a husband.
She trusted her anaa to do it. Kukutux knew the ways to find a husband, she had done so well with Aiolos. Vairë only hoped she would receive what they had.
The doe ghosted into the forest, moving slow and steady, the fox skull between her teeth slipping and sliding with every movement. She would find the village. There had to be some remnant here for her to lay to rest.

As a kid Kausiut had had a stash of treasure that consisted of various objects that only Kausiut understood the meaning of. Some she had taken, because she liked them, the others had once held an aura of importance. She still remembered creating patterns with them - first it had begun as mimicking Sialuk's play with bones, but then this activity had obtained a different meaning. Because sometimes it felt as if it was not her, who was placing the objects, but she was guided by an invisible hand.
Now, however, she had attempted to play the same way for the old times sake, but it no longer felt right. She did not have that patience and her mind often drifted. It no longer held that magic. Odd really - how the toys you value very much lose their meaning later in life. So - when she caught sight of a young she-wolf walking away from Moonglow with a fox skull in her jaws, Kausiut felt inclined to follow. Out of curiousity of, what the girl was about to do with it and - perhaps - having a chance to find out a different way of playing the items in such a way that they spoke to you clearly.
She kept her distance, trying to both keep up and be quiet and at times failing at both. Being disabled the way she was, did not allow for both to exist simultaneously.
