germanicus was silent as they made their way to kvarsheim. tauris. íkaros.

the first name held shades of a more ancient time, the shape of stars in imitation of a bull. of the name iphigenia.

the second was greek, a lofty name for a youth who felt unsure. and yet beneath the confidence of tauris he seemed to gain his own. germanicus thought of the careful boy he himself had named icarus, and his thoughts turned as they sometimes did to mereo. and then to fennec.

but as they neared the proud stone gates of kvarsheim, the eagle put his ponderings away and dipped his head to gunnar. the patriarch did not seem overly concerned with attack, as he meant to send away the younger members of his home.

the former imperator sat quietly. "i have taken a meal, thank you."

now there was only waiting.
