Arsenio eyed the pale soldier with a careful gaze. His smile shifted upward, drawing into a pointed smirk.

It was not so easily decided. Germanicus wished to keep you, and your wife. He only would send me with Diesel and Khalys. Would this information prove to be beneficial to Kallik, something to ease his thoughts? He had a stoic face that did not reveal his feelings on the matter. It made Arsenio feel nervous. The mercenary wished to know what the other soldier was thinking. I said that I would take the vale, that it would be an academy for learning. Healing and the work of soldiers, both.

There was more to it than just that, however.

I think of you as a friend, Kallik. Tamar has made relationships in Mereo. It might be selfish, but I wish to have a friend at my side in this undertaking. I wish for my wife to have a friend, as well… and for our children to grow alongside another family. As for Aquene and your pups, it will not be expected that she will move until they are ready, and she has healed. But you and I will take trips away until they are born. This will be to scout the territory and begin our claim.

There would be no way to know what Kallik thought without asking.

Tell me what you are thinking.
