When Arsenio started to answer his question, the duties he explained were not surprising. Kallik was no less intrigued, though. He looked forward to training new soldiers, and he knew Aquene would enjoy teaching aspiring healers. It all sounded like a good, solid plan.

But when his friend mentioned that Kallik and his wife would be second in command, the soldier's eyes widened in surprise for a brief moment. Leadership? he repeated first, then he seemed to snap out of his momentary surprise. I will not take this role lightly, he added a second later, returning to his former state of control. And I know both Aquene and myself will enjoy teaching. 

It was a lot to think about and a lot to tell his wife. He knew getting things going would mean weeks at a time separated from Aquene, but he felt like it would all be worth it if they could make this outpost into something important.
