Towhee actually sounded tempted, and so Ruenna was increasingly hopeful. 

"Mereo is an outpost for Akashingo," she explained. "..And the most immediate threat would be the Saints. They attacked Akashingo, and a life was lost. Crowfeather was also injured severely, and he is still recovering in Akashingo. Akashingo's leadership saw a need for a stronger military presence to protect the area, and Germanicus volunteered to spearhead the project." Towhee would likely recall their previous conversation about the closeness that Crowfeather and Germanicus shared, and so it would be clear why this mission was personal for Germanicus. 

"Also.. I think that this is sort of just Germanicus's.. calling in life. He was training Crowfeather as his student before everything with Akashingo went down. To me, this seems like the same thing on a bigger scale." Although Germanicus guarded much of his inner thought, Ruenna was a perceptive woman. Mereo was not just about revenge, or justice, or protection to Germanicus. It was fulfilling some additional drive within him-- Ruenna could see this, even if Germanicus himself could not.
