Redsand Canyon That ole highway holds the key

sorry for the delay!

fennec took point on this discussion.

any other time, germanicus might have found it disrespectful. but his wife stood at their helm as well and her investment in mereo was clear.

solemnly he listened. reyson had hated his time in akashingo and it was enough then to cement the imperator's decision to send no more there unless they chose the palace.

he declined. germanicus looked toward him. "this is understood. there is no request for a final decision at this time. say what you want, not what you have decided."

he wanted to know that reyson's heart was here, even if meadow held him in thrall.
