Redsand Canyon Your kisses are poison and all your words are treason

Kallik arrived a little after the imperator, having picked up the scent of a stranger during one of his many patrols, and then heard the call. 

He took his usual place near Germanicus, at his side but held back just a little to show deference. He would take up his silent guard while the imperator figured out what this blind stranger wanted from Mereo.

He mentioned the members of Towhee's family that already resided within the canyon, which made Kallik wonder if he suspected the woman was related. He was interested to hear her response.
