Redsand Canyon Dusty roads ain't made for walking

So Mereo would stay out of the conflict between Ursus and Rivenwood unless it was brought to the canyon. That was about how he and Lane had felt about it too. He should probably feel bad about it, but he didn't. Lane came first, and so did Atautsikut. If they could avoid a fight, he would prefer that. 

He could tell Lane wasn't keen on staying here for the night, and neither was he. He'd rather find somewhere for just the two of them to rest for the night. 

Surprised briefly flashed across his face when Lane mentioned she had family here, someone named Ruenna Redfern. He was curious to meet Ruenna and learn how she was related to his kuulti. He was also nervous and wished he wasn't dirty and tired from travel. But he wouldn't let any of that keep Lane from seeing her family.
