Redhawk Caldera Get buck in here

He lapsed into thoughtful silence at her words. He liked to think he would be there for Amalia the same way she’d been there for him, yet the occasion had never arisen. And he hoped it never would, if only because he preferred Amalia to be happy and carefree. He did wish he could repay her kindness in some other way, though.

Yeah. Can I ask you another favor? Atreus said, speaking slowly in the manner of someone thoughtful. Could you go to Akashingo and let them know I’m injured and will be staying here with you?

It was two requests rolled into one, of course, but he doubted Amalia would mind if he stayed. In fact, he was kind of counting on it because, the longer he looked at her, the more he wondered why he’d never followed her in the first place. She’d tried to take him in so many times and he’d always rebuffed her in some way. Presently, Atreus couldn’t think of any reason why.

Maybe I could… he began, then hesitated.

Did he really want to leave Akashingo, just like that? He really enjoyed getting to know the pharaoh and her sister, though the priest didn’t like him. And the mesa had proved insurmountable for him. Atreus wasn’t a fan of the subterranean palace, especially after recently spending so much time down there guarding Makono’s door.

But, more importantly, Amalia was here. At least the packs were allies and neighbors. It really shouldn’t be a big deal in the end, should it?
