Redsand Canyon pertinacia

Reyson felt strange leaving now, when the two little ones were missing. He wanted to help look for them. His friend was missing them, but he had been given an order. He was to travel with the princeps. He was to make sure they arrived safely and then he would be there for a month, learning of the wolves there, pining for Meadow and hoping that she was still willing to continue their courtship when he returned. He felt it would be too much to ask her to visit him, and he didn't really want her too. He did not trust the wolves of Akashingo.

Reyson gave a swift nod, and squared his shoulders. Moving immediately into a guard stance. He would lead, he motioned for Khaba to provide a rear guard. He nodded his head at Germanicus.

I will see you in a month Imperator and I will ask the queen to send a messenger when we have arrived.

He met the man's gaze for a moment, sharing a brief look into his own workings. The regret at leaving at time like this, the want to continue to help hunt for the children, but there was also a small fire in there. A shining of respect for his commander. Then he quickly averted his gaze and moved to start walking.
