Lion Head Mesa Take your time, and consume all of it

Fennec smiled at her laugh. It was as slight as her smiles generally were, but it was genuine for a change. I’m not sure what you mean. There was a touch of dark humor to it, and an answering relaxing within her. If she was no longer Imperatrix, then she no longer had to care how she was perceived.

There was an idea, though. A way to justify avoiding her mother’s impending pups while still making Killdeer happy. Fennec was heavily interested in finding more out about Akashingo too, ever since Germanicus had argued so heavily to keep her from it. A place where even he had secrets to hide, albeit secrets she now knew.

He’s going to visit his father. The title came out flat, even to her ears, but fuck it. Killer wasn’t around to hear. That’s the last place I want to be, and I wouldn’t mind the excuse of staying here a few days. I never did get to visit the way I wanted to. Surely Killdeer would be just as happy knowing she was staying with “a friend”.
