Redsand Canyon welcome to the darkside

Germanicus and Ruenna were of the same mind; this was a relief. She was, for the most part, ignorant of whatever took place in the "punishment ground" and glad of it-- she trusted Germanicus to appropriately handle discipline in his ranks.

Germanicus left them, and his parting words caused Ruenna's pulse to quicken for a just moment. On any other night, those words would have just been words, but tonight, they felt like a promise of more. 

Ruenna shook her head, dismissing Aquene's apology. "If it was not this, it would have been something else. This is only to be expected with young soldiers who lack an enemy." Ruenna paused, and then added apologetically, "I wonder if I'm to blame for any of this, spreading this scent around and getting the men agitated."  What if this was the reason for whatever Glaukos had tried with Aquene? Ruenna would be unable to forgive herself.

"Maybe my medication should be delivered to my den," she suggested. She hated to add one more thing to Aquene's list of responsibilities, but it might be best if Ruenna kept herself sequestered for the rest of the week.
