Girl bites her lip, for such a rare discovery would be nice to keep and admire in their den!
Her insides flutter as though a sea bird is winging near her heart. But a chill passes thereafter, and Asxinu leans her small body over the bone hearth to offer top and bottom jaws atop the growing cairn of remains.
She turns back to grin up at Tata and fluff out her pelt, feeling quite proud of this accomplishment in the aftermath. It seems like a very adult thing to do, even if her intention is to sneak back after dinner. Maybe the spirits will not mind if she looks at the odd teeth again?
But to keep them forever—no. She is a diligent pupil of her lessons, and Tata himself may have mythical powers. Such a presence he is to her.
Soulful brown eyes are wide upon him.
“Can we go back tomorrow to look for more seal things?”
