Aquene's exit/fade for all intents and purposes

Aquene listened, noting the way the first name almost slipped out and Aquene raised an eyebrow. She knew that Towhee and Ruenna were good friends, but were they good enough friends that Towhee got to use Germanicus’ actual name? She hummed and shrugged. “It’s true, though as pregnancy progresses you can make predictions based on the way a mother carries.” Even then, however, it wasn’t an exact science or something to be controlled, but then again Towhee already knew that. She had been a mother man times.
 
The mention of sister outposts and she wrinkled her nose. “I worry from a medical standpoint. I am the only healer here; with Malila gone, there would be no healer to help at a second outpost… at least, not one I trust to know enough of what they are doing to look after those who came from Mereo.” She considered them family, true family unlike her biological family. She only wanted what was best and healthy for all of them. She nodded as she began to push upright and announced her leave. “Yes, please rest. If you need anything further you know where I’ll be… here, in the tablinum.” Once again stressing the location she could be found but in a more teasing manner. She did not want the woman crossing the threshold of her and Kallik’s den again to suffer more injuries. Maxim took his leave after her and Aquene turned to tend to her herbs.
