Firefly Glen [m] the initiative

What came next was not expected in the slightest. Yet he found himself unphased by it, or at least unafraid of it; strange, yes, but no stranger than any of the recent pivots in his life. He could choose to say no and remain the way he was — alone, wandering, aimless — or go to the mountain with her. Be a father? He didn't know if he could do that (especially given that he hadn't known his own father), but there was a certain appeal to being with her.

She had mentioned purpose and that was what he craved, most. It is what he was trained for. Who was he without a purpose? Without a mission to accomplish, or orders to follow? Rather than face what that could be, who he could be when given reign over his own life, Glaukos saw the opportunity presented by Sialuk and was glad for it.

As you wish. He did not know what else to say, in the end.
