Amira = contrived perfect waifu.
I feel sorry for her clan... Those lads all unmarried despite being bishies... while Karluk's village has a load of cute girls and ugly men.

@SotiCoto
Ugly men?! Boy, you haven't seen ugly men.

 

[artemis_luna]

Aww

 

[seijibabel]

damn that wolf details. Such a majestic creature

Finally she got to him! He was becoming too obsessed with the matter and when he finally understood her and teared up, it was such a relief!

It's lucky Karluk has the baring of an excellent grown-up. I could easily see a lesser man becomming taken over by insecurity and jelousy caused by 1. Amir(a)'s own skill 2. her brother's skill

beautiful chapter, listening to Ulap while reading this is just a whole other level

I got to say that Karluk's family is full of really substantial men. The father is clearly respected in the village, and is a man of leadership and responsibility who manages the village as a whole in a lot of ways. Karluk's brother is smaller than his father but is definitely making a name for himself. This is especially apparent in his management of the reconstruction after the big attack.

Karluk really ought not to have anything to worry about. His relationship with his wife is very good. I like little scenes where he is playing an instrument and singing and she dances. I can see them doing that well into their old age together. But the other thing is that Karluk went head to head against Amir's own father with a spear. It is no small thing for a man on foot to fight another man who is on a horse. The horseman has the advantage of elevation and speed, as well as the intimidation factor of the sheer mass of the animal. But Katluk didn't flinch or back down, even when his spear had been cut in half. He has the heart of a lion for the defense of his wife. He really has nothing to worry about, and there is really no one to compare to him in terms of bravery.

Alongside the very sweet moments here, this chapter clears up a lot about what's going on with Amir's people. It sounds like that sickess wiped a lot of them out- maybe especially more women then men. From past scenes it seems like a lot of the older men survived....

So basically a huge loss of labor, the illness probably wiped out a lot of resources, the issues with land rights they've been having, and no kids in the family. All that and her brothers are this old and unwed. Fuckin rough.
