elk is journeying to trade with NF but isn't there yet, aw <3
it was strange to have the seal hunter gone. there had been little ceremony at all. the man's scarred face did not scare her so close, not when he had made her laugh, kissed her to warmth.
the rest was still unfamiliar to elk charm as to be surreal, thus worthy of guarding. suffice it to say that her shyness had given way to wonder. the seal hunter had carried both skill and kindness into her wetu and had left the sharadoii woman with a gift.
it was still strange to lie alone, to have woken alone. to know that when she went out of doors, he would not be there. the pleasure had long since ebbed to a wistful loneliness, and it was why elk charm found herself on the mountainous path toward northfall. she carried a wealth of colorful feathers stuffed into the sea otter skin, and also certain herbs plucked carefully with stems intact from her own tiny garden. strips of caribou fur and edible black lichen completed her offering.
if samo was still away, then she would wait. wait and prepare, and that meant lying in the pelts she could not hunt alone. but that place was still far. so she carried in carrying voice that she hoped would bring Wardruna further to her, with blessing.
the rain began quietly.
