Redsand Canyon welcome to the darkside

wow srry;;

the imperator listened.

aquene carried with her bitter memories and they influenced how unsteady she seemed now. germanicus understood now how glaukos had indeed carried on unnecessarily. despite his great size he was as brainless as any other young man his age. it still did not explain why kallik had reacted so fiercely.

the eagle chose to assume that there was a measure of feeling or infatuation on the part of the pale soldier. it was the end of his thinking upon the matter. he did not know what had transpired between the pair during this time of comfort. "your actions were appropriate for the situation, aquene." his voice was measured. "glaukos should not have prolonged your spar nor escalated it. the situation will be handled."

his yellowpaint eyes rested on ruenna. germanicus was thankful for a moment to look at her. she seemed rather gilded next to him, her steady tones imbued with something he did not understand. the idea of returning to mete out his sentence to the soldiers before he retired to their domicile with her was excruciating. 

"young soldiers with hot blood will fight at the drop of a leaf," the imperator murmured to both the matrona and the medicus. "if there is a conflict to be had it will be had." this was the reality of things. such conflicts could not be avoided if they were meant to occur. 

kallik had spoken and told him he trusted no one within mereo. by extrapolation he did not trust glaukos. it was a hole in the armor germanicus meant to cultivate.

the struggle inside him had renewed. irritation welled against the carefully constructed walls of his long-held control. his thoughts felt as if wind were attempting to lift carefully inked parchment from its organization. "they will be well enough," germanicus confirmed. the two were not so in need of medical care as they were instruction.

"i am happy that you trust the matrona. it is good that kallik made an attempt at self-control." was this praise? he meant it to be. "thank you for telling me even the difficult portions of what happened." he needed to step away. "lady ruenna, i will join you when i have addressed the two."

germanicus cleared his throat and set an apologetic look of his own upon her before he nodded to both aquene and ruenna, willing himself to be still until both had answered and aquene had felt a that a resolution would be given.
