Ouroboros Spine taggak

Kigipigak knew he was being foolish, letting himself become so worked up over this. If Sakhmet found a reason to leave then he would have to respect it; equally so, he would give her enough time to return, as she had waited so long for his own recovery it only made sense to afford her the same.

The talk of this Eldritch, the spirit-talker, was not exactly startling to Kigipigak but to some degree, unwanted. He did not want to face the reality that Sakhmet might be gone for good; but he knew Kukutux was only trying to help. It was not meant in any ill-will.

She will return. He resolves, as if his will alone will make it so. I will wait for her, and I will keep searching.
