Redsand Canyon Whatever makes you happy

It eased a tension deep inside the soldier when Aquene said she felt safe with him. When her ex had attacked, he had been here, too far to help; he didn't think he could forgive himself for that. That she still felt safe despite that made that intense feeling swell in his chest again. 

But she didn't want to talk about it, at least not today, and so he wouldn't say anything else about Dimitri. He wasn't very fond of the subject anyway. I am glad you feel safe with me, he told the healer, kissing her cheek like he liked to do. 

Kallik frowned at his wife. Still, be careful, he told her again. He was being dramatic, he knew, but he couldn't help it. 

The scutarius listened closely to her explanation of chills. He didn't think he had ever experienced that feeling. Like how Glaukos felt after our fight with the cougar? Infection had settled into both their wounds, but his seemed to be a little worse. The skin was healed where Kallik's wounds had been but the hair had not grown back yet, leaving scars where the claws had dragged across his skin. He wondered if he would be scarred there forever. Did you have this plant then? he asked curiously. He liked learning about her work.
