first arsenio and then kallik joined them as he escorted alys toward the tablinum.

there were too many men here for what the imperator must share. "principales. scutarius," he addressed the two others as the physician stepped forward. "will you inform the other soldiers that we have a new resident in mereo?"

he meant to send them away and inform them later.

whether or not they moved swiftly, germanicus cleared his throat. "this is alys," he introduced. "she and her mate were building an allied pack in the vale by the name of kinfolk and it was meant to be a home for their unborn. there was a caved tunnel. she has come to join us."

trusting that aquene would understand, the imperator stood stiffly alongside the pair of them. "i am going to inform the matrona." and to alys he gave something softer: "i am sorry for your tragedy. but you will be safe here."

with that he wheeled, massively uncomfortable and once more aware of how much suffering he could not comprehend.

his steps would take him directly to @Ruenna, where he would inform her of kinfolk's saddened end and alys' new place among the commoner ranks. and then he would seek the men again, ordering a patrol to the vale to assess the damage done to its details.
