Shimmering Sands whale's way

"They are like my taataa and some of my sistraas—wolves of the sea." Even she, to an extent, was also a wolf of the sea. But she wasn't drawn to the water like some of her family members; she was content in the village of Moonglow. "Big family village. Lots of generations." That was the extent that she knew. "Maybe we can visit one day to learn more of their ways," she suggested. 

She smiled when he asked about their language and said he wanted to know more. How exciting! She loved to teach others. "Yes, I am happy to help you." she answered first, not wanting him to wait while she explained what she'd said. "You will have to tell me what words you have learned, and we will go from there." A beat; it was time for him to learn a new word. "ilax̂tal means 'friendly'."

She was delighted to hear that he was willing to visit Sialuk. "I was thinking that we could collect some herbs for her uluq—to help boost her supply so she can dry them out and make medicine." She would even help her sister prepare them if need be! "Maybe we will look for borage leaves for all of the anaaqs. If Mother Tooteega gives them her blessing, of course." A new light danced in her eyes, and her tail thumped against the ground. "It is an exciting and sacred time for Moonwomen." And it'd be her time one day—not now, but in time. She would have to wait. [/b]
