Redsand Canyon You float like a feather

stealing this idea from talamasca because i figured it would be extra awkward XD
it can be set after the glaukos/aquene/germ thread

He had waited near the soldiers dens until the imperator had come for him, stewing in his shame and self-loathing. He wished he had time to explain things to @Aquene, but he was to leave directly after seeing her. By the time @Germanicus came to collect him, he was far beyond words. He still had none. 

When they walked into the tablinum, Kallik's irritation spiked as Glaukos' scent mixed with the scent of the healer and her plants—a scent that usually calmed him. He didn't like that he had been here, but he knew the imperator had supervised, and he knew the other soldier's wounds needed to be treated. He was angry with him, but he didn't want him to die. Had he been a more controlled man, less driven by emotion, he might have thought things through better before attacking his fellow auxillary. 

He would give the healer an apologetic look as he sat down. There were many things he wanted to tell her. He wanted to embrace her and tell her he would be back soon. But he would not say or do anything like that while Germanicus watched. Instead, he just watched her work and listened quietly to whatever the imperator told her.
