Strangers greeted her, and Taktuq greeted them with a gentle tip of her head. The woman's posture spoke of something uncertain. Perhaps apprehension towards her. Well, was she not a stranger here, in her own right? The woman's words at least seemed kind. The man, on the other hand, was silent, but his dark eyes fixed her with inscrutable intensity.
"Lane of Duskfire," she said in way of greeting, and would have offered the same to the man, if he had spoken. As it was she let her peaceable gaze rest on him a second before she returned her attention to Lane. "I am Taktuq Ateneq." Of Easthollow, she was inclined to add but kept silent on this matter. She knew, of course, that this was Duskfire Glacier. Issorartuyok had made that known to her.
"I heard of your village through Issorartuyok, and heard his praises of your kin. I came upon your land three moons past, and these three moons I have taken what I had heard and seen and have considered, and have decided I would like to call your village my village, too, if there indeed remains a place for me."
