As time wore on and her people experienced the passing of members, she practiced her weaving by creating memorial shrouds for their bodies, seeking to hold on to their culture through this behavior. However, as Eliksni weave cloth from the material left over after an Eliksni hatches from its egg, these memorial shrouds became ever harder to weave due to a shortage of births. Inaaks' hands instead turned to the separation of meat from carapace, as her people fell to cannibalism of the dead to prevent starvation. | As time wore on and her people experienced the passing of members, she practiced her weaving by creating memorial shrouds for their bodies, seeking to hold on to their culture through this behavior.

At some point, the birth of | At some point, the birth of Misraaks occurred. Inaaks held deep regrets at allowing her hatchling into a cruel world, expressing she should have crushed his egg to make eggcloth, but her hope for the return of the old world stayed her hand. She named him after her own father, with his birth seeming to be a turning point in her own morbidity of thought. She questioned whether the House naming tradition would continue, or if it even should considering the state of existence the Eliksni now tread. This morbid turn of thought became further expressed as Misraaks’ father died shortly after the birth, with Inaaks displaying no regrets over it. | ||
After many years, Inaaks finally made contact with another Eliksni group, a Ketch flying the heraldry of the House of Dancers. The Kell of the Ketch sent an emissary to discuss what needs the Weavers may have had, and this emissary was [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]]. Inaaks knew her from their childhood, though knew nothing of her adulthood past her having a [[Athrys|wife]] and children. Upon meeting Eramis in person, Inaaks noted she was no longer a meek child, but instead ruthless and incisive. She had not been sent to discuss support and charity, instead to assess weaknesses to exploit. Through tense negotiations, the two Houses came to a compromise when it became clear that attack was not the more profitable venture. The Weavers would provide materials for repairs to the Dancers ship, and the Weavers would take on parts of the Dancers membership, alongside a small portion of Ether. Inaaks realised this was a death sentence for the Eliksni handed over to her people, and opted to press Eramis to see if she could still feel and rationalise beyond basic survival. Asking Eramis what of her wife, Eramis appeared completely unfazed by the question, instead moving straight on to the business of providing the [[Spider|first]] [[Siviks, Lost to None|two]] transfers in the approved deal. | After many years, Inaaks finally made contact with another Eliksni group, a Ketch flying the heraldry of the House of Dancers.
