Totoka River aniruk ✿

thank you for joining! <3

it was a relief to know she would not be going back to the keep, though in many ways she missed it very much. with summer beginning in a handful of moons, the girl would not be plagued by cold, and keeping close to the sea would allow kukutux to utilize the knowledge she had known her entire life. and so she worked tirelessly, her voice rising from time to time on a note, carried toward the sea by a breeze.

the sound of another's voice startled the duck; she paused in the half-dug mound of the ulaq. it had been distinctly female, and so the spirit-walker had not come upon her again. tentatively she moved toward the entrance, meeting the inquisitive amber gaze of a black she-wolf. 

"i greet you," kukutux murmured with a dip of her head when she had recovered from her surprise. the next was a lament that she had nothing to offer the stranger, for she had not settled upon the rivermouth long enough to lay by her stores.
