Redsand Canyon seems a pity not to take a chance

germanicus had hoped that one of the soldiers might intercept ruenna. it would show mereo's strength. he had said it would be done. 

but the moments ticked by. 

and then she called out.

the eagle did not feel proper lingering in the shadows now. his step became resolute and he entered her line of sight promptly. 

it was in this moment that germanicus found he did not know what to say. or rather he did not know how to say these things. she had crossed the stone chain and stood in mereo now.

"it is good to see you, lady ruenna." he meant it genuinely. his gaze was steady but could not help to draw in the details of her travel.

"i believe i offended you at the wedding. for this i must ask your forgiveness." her words had not changed. but something in her expression and tones had shifted that day.

germanicus paused. it was a weighty greeting. he cleared his throat with a quick smile, offering her his shoulder. he did not wish to have such a conversation in the open. but she has walked far. and germanicus would indeed let her choose to travel more.
