Redsand Canyon when you wake up hungover, you wish you were sober

as confusing as it was for crowfeather, it was doubly so to drakon as he listened to the explanation. it wasn't quite enough for him to feel lied to, necessarily. but he had asked what mereo fought for. akashingo should have been included somewhere in germanicus's explanation, surely. this wasn't a peace mission; this was defense of someone else's interests.

drakon frowned. that's... not exactly what i thought was goin' on here. i asked germanicus what mereo fights for, and there wasn't a single aka or shingo in his answer. he didn't lie, but...

i dunno. guess i thought mereo was here to keep the peace for everyone, stupid, stupid boy. he started to shift anxiously, suddenly uncertain of his place here. he knew nothing of akashingo, cared nothing for politics. what was he doing here?
