Redsand Canyon might just fuck us over

The queen had been poisoned. Kallik had never taken that into account before, that someone's food could be poisoned. Now he added another thing to worry about. Maybe he should just hunt all of his wife's food himself just to be sure nothing like that ever happened to her. It wasn't exactly sustainable, so he would have to think of a fallback, like testing her food before she ate it if it didn't come directly from him. 

He was spiraling. It wasn't the time for that, and there other things he needed to focus on. So he called on his training and forcefully cleared his mind. Is there anyone that you suspect? he asked. Maybe that would be a good place to start. 

Aquene brought up something else entirely, but he was glad for it. She needed a healer present for her own birth in case something happened. He could hear the guilt in her tone and it pulled at his heart. Kallik nuzzled the side of her neck briefly in comfort. There was absolutely no need for her to feel guilty. The Akashingo business was important but so was her safety and health.
