Redsand Canyon I never trusted my own eyes

The imperator asked him to speak his mind and at first, he said nothing. He wasn't sure what good it would do; it was clear there was no room for his questions or opinions. Maybe that was what it meant to be a soldier. There was much he did not know, much he had made is own assumptions about, and it was taking some adjustment to see things in a different way. 

Germanicus brought up the subject of taking a wife, and the idea still sounded promising. He was fiercely loyal, and that would extend to a wife if he were to take one. 

Finally his gaze moved from the boulder to the imperator. Yes, I did. I would not stray from her, he answered. The anger was kept from his tone for now but it threatened to come to the surface. There is a lot I should have learned from a father that I never had the chance to learn, he said after a short pause. I made a mistake, and you did not want to teach me any different; you only wanted to punish. The auxillary deflated a bit. I feel so angry but I am not entirely sure why.
