Redsand Canyon hactenus

aquene was devoted to her tasks when he arrived. germanicus did not interrupt her, only stepped into her line of vision. the sharp scent of herbs crept to his nose. 

it reminded him of when he had arrived back into the canyon with arsenio and tamar. how the room he now shared with ruenna had been touched by the fragrance of her medicines.

he was content to wait until aquene had finished. if her focus was this manner for plants, she might be able to transfer it to the military ranks.
