Redsand Canyon temptatio

these sorts of conversations made germanicus vividly uncomfortable.  but he kept himself present. 

how could he convey what being a husband had always meant to him? and though he might never understand, there was a deeper part: that it connected to the eagle's sense of being a man.

and men did not rely on their wives for direction. they relied on the word of men around them. suppose she felt put upon to see him in such a struggle?

germanicus did not want to explore the meaning of more. but he nodded all the same. "i will consider it. for myself." what a selfish concept. and yet fennec wished it of him, this foreign feeling gliding coldly into his gut.

perhaps it was necessary.
