Tied To What Is Late

Star was pretty shocked at the idea of not seeing one's siblings very often. Granted, the Aracari wandered hither and yon without much coordination but they always seemed to find each other again. Stjarna wondered if they'd eventually drift apart like this woman and her sisters.

Star gathered the leather strands they kept in a deer hide bundle in the travois. Star started at the bottom, threading the leather cordage through the bottom holes then crisscrossing their way up, alternating the holes on either side to form an 'x' like pattern of lacing. Once at the top, Star tied a little knot at each end of the strand to prevent them from slipping back out. Next Star pulled the pouch forward between their paws and placed a piece of the leather cord on either side of the pouch. Picking up one of the leather strands they tied a knot in one end then repeated the process with the other. Stjarna then threaded the leather through the holes and tied another knot to make sure the cord didn't slip through and cause them to lose the pouch. Stjarna pulled the leather cords tight so that the leather pouch formed more of a pouch than a flat piece.
