They marched together through the snow for a bit. Sialuk appeared weighed down by something more assuredly, but aside from that initial question about it, Kigipigak remained silent.

She had left her village behind for the trip to these hunting camps, which was likely difficult for her. The wolves of Moonglow did not travel as avidly as those of Tartok.

I know of one, a woman named Lane. I hunted with her once - before my injuries and my stay with your village. We chased boar. Kigipigak had made sure to give the bulk of the meat to the then-pregnant woman, and offered to help her transport it to the glacier, but had split off from her soon after instead.

Lane is a good hunter. She was almost a mother then, but still could hunt and fight the prey well. The boar was a giant beast of a thing but not once did I worry.
