He had somehow forgotten about this particular task: Germanicus had once asked him to practice tracking by following a deer. To be fair to him, Mereo seemed to be in a period of flux lately and he couldn’t even be sure which tasks still applied any longer. And where the hell was he supposed to find a deer around here?
He didn’t. But Atreus discovered the scent of a goat somewhere in the mountains beyond the borders, so he did his best to follow it. He never caught up with the beast, though nor did he slip and fall or get assaulted by wolverines. He thought Germanicus would determine this a constructive and successful use of his time.
The youth abandoned the venture and loped back toward the canyon around nightfall. When he saw a figure darkening Mereo’s doorstep, he halted abruptly, every muscle gone rigid. The stranger was in between Atreus and his homeland, which disconcerted him, though only for a moment. Then he caught her scent and his worry disappeared along with the stiffness.
