A fruit! That was something Sialuk felt she could handle. She really was going to be the very best ayaga. Well, anaa was the best, but Sialuk thought she could certainly do her mother and father proud by being the very best she could be. She was ecstatic that Toad was to be her ugi, although she did not quite understand the ins-and-outs of it just yet. Perhaps her parents had decided that she was ready now and did not need to wait a whole twenty-four moons.

She was, of course, delighted to hear that Toad would be staying. "You're like family now," was music to her ears, and Sialuk blushed beneath her white fur. And what about Saviguk? Would he like Toad, too? Maybe he would be jealous that he did not yet have an ayaga. Sialuk hadn't thought to ask about that process, but she decided she would bring it up with her mother the next time they talked.

I like fish the best! Sialuk declared. There was something pleasant about the flavor that land creatures just didn't have.
