Redsand Canyon stones

no u <3

tamar shivered and laughed.

kallik had told her that he would take her into the recesses. but tamar was not sure she was ready to visit them. "yes," she said teasingly to her husband. "you can help me shake out the pelts in our den."

winter was still firm with the canyon in its grasp. but tamar looked for the springtime.

slyly she glanced at arsenio. "how long before little ones arrive in mereo, do you think?" she murmured, alluding to their matrona and her imperator. 

tamar smiled, reaching to kiss his red cheek before leading the way to their shelter. arsenio had grown lean and chiseled. the sight of him always made her blood run warm.
