tamar liked to see arsenio with more lightness.

"she is the matrona. in charge of those who are not soldiers. she helps. she knows medicine." but she was not a queen. not a regent. "she said that i would be able to call her rue if i wished." tamar shook her head, but there was a small smile on her face.

"i have offered to keep the story of mereo." her eyes found and held those of arsenio. "she does not want a maid." a lift of her eyebrow. 

what would arsenio think of his love's designs?
