Northstar Vale Find the strength to see this through

Arsenio did not blink at the soldier’s professed respect for Germanicus’ new wife. He did not need to know anything about the woman. Arsenio had known the last to be fair and reasonable, kind and careful with her actions.

If he did not wait long to remarry to… the lady Fennec, he will not wait long to marry again, if she does not meet his expectations. He seemed fond of the last one, as well. And she was no weak spine.

He shrugged, as though he was trying to express that he did not care. This was partially true. He did not care for a woman he had never met. This Fennec was a stranger to the Arche. He had no respect for her – she hadn’t earned it. Arsenio’s respect for Germanicus had withered, already. What reason did he have to speak warmly about either of them? None.

Rest well, Reyson. Arsenio nodded stiffly and turned to find the peace of someone who had not known Germanicus and his women.
