Stone Circle When the party is over

As it grew quiet, Taktuq began to feed off of Ikiaq's anxiety. Her heart began to race, and she glanced nervously between Valette and her brothers; any reassurance was futile, as she knew something was wrong. Nanook would have never ignored her call. 

Siarut arrived at just the right time. Turning towards the sound of his voice with a wide-eyed stare, Taktuq hesitated for a moment. Although she wanted nothing more than to press herself against him, she was too scared to move; whatever was going on might happen to her, too. It was only when Ikiaq and Selamuit moved that Taktuq found some bravery from within herself. She followed after them, scampering with her ears pinned to her head and her tail tucked between her legs. Taktuq began to whimper as she drew closer, as she felt she relieved for seeing one of her parents. 

When she arrived at Siarut's side, Taktuq laid and pressed herself against him. Not wanting to focus on anything else, she buried her face in his shoulder and focused on his scent—the only thing to truly comfort her then.
