Lion Head Mesa manzanita

The young girl said that she had never met Germanicus. Crowfeather was not sure if this was a good thing, or if it was something that irked him. He festered on it for a long moment before he looked to Belen with a curious glint in his gaze.

She wanted to know about him? She wanted Crowfeather to speak about Germanicus?

The shadow found himself growing warm.

He is a very good man. He seems serious, but I believe it is because he’s quite good at- at hiding away his emotions. He told me that I should do the same. Crowfeather could hardly stop the words as they fell from his mouth. He was nearly breathless. It was a feeling he had never had. He has a very good sense of duty. He makes friends better than anyone I’ve ever seen. It’s like he just knows just what to say and he says it so well. And he’s a great teacher! There were so many things that Crowfeather could say about the older man. There were so many things about Germanicus that filled his mind.

Germanicus saved my life…

Crowfeather’s eyes glossed over.

We- We are- a small grunt to clear his throat. We’re supposed to be traveling east together, after I heal. There’s somewhere that he wants to go and I- I wish to go with him. I miss him. I miss him very much.
