after his discussion with towhee he had thought of their own spring ahead. a thought that felt immediately selfish in the wake of her back still mending. would she be healed by then?
where would they be within mereo by then?
would he be triarius? would she still stand as praefectus?
not to mention the children they currently had. would they still be with mereo upon their first year? soldiers or plebians?
all of it fueled some buried sense of anxiety within him. he was not aware that by the time he came to the common area at the end of his training shift, with the sun beginning to set, he was panting.
and not from any kind of physical exertion.
quickly he moved off from the common area. prepared to contain himself somewhere private, away from prying eyes. only returning once he had calmed down.
after the sun had set, and the children had fallen asleep.
not his best moment.
