Redsand Canyon With legs littered with scars cut from these olive branches

With @Germanicus watching over the situation, Glaukos was brought to tablinum where @Aquene waited with her herbal stores. He did not look at her. He dragged his heels and slouched for part of the hike there, then when he came in to view of the hovel where she worked, he stood tall - as if he were proud for what he'd done.

In truth he cared little about her feelings. His face hurt and he was being treated like a fool for doing as he was asked; it had not been Glaukos that started the fight, and somehow being intent to defend himself and even end it, made him a target for Germanicus' rule of law.

He came to a halt a few meters away from the opening and sat down heavily, letting his weight drop against the dirt. One eye remained swollen shut and beneath it, from the lower segment of his orbital bone and down across his cheek, there was the thick slice from Kallik's tooth. Blood matted the fur there.
