After such a long time without orders, Glaukos found that having work and duties again was a fulfilling change, and one he had missed. He did not mind that it was two women giving him orders either, which was a far cry from how he'd have reacted years ago; that they were not the General or warriors of any kind did not bother him. He was desperate for this sort of structure when Druid had come across him, and now Glaukos could not see himself living any other way.

Heda did not want the beaver. That was fine — he would take it aside and clean it later and present it to Druid with some invitation hanging between them for Heda to join in, as requested, and maybe by then he'd have hunted other things to satiate all of their appetites.

The woman mentioned denning together; as Glaukos often slept alongside her or nearby, after his patrols, he saw nothing wrong with adding another body. That way Druid would be warm through the nights when Glaukos was on his longer patrols, or if he were distracted by the work. He gave a small shrug and followed up with a deeper nod, unbothered.

I am fine with that. He didn't really have an opinion one way or another. It made tactical sense to the soldier that the women would stay together, and it would make them easier to protect and to feed, and then in turn make the children easier to handle as well. They'd have two mothers, and be consolidated in to one place.

Odd, he found himself thinking — odd that he was not bothered in the slightest about this concept of being a father, suddenly. Except he did not think of himself as such; he was like the General now, and he had seen how Germanicus had raised his own children to be soldiers, and would model himself in a similar manner.

Is there anything you need? He offered next, seeing as how she would not be taking a meal, and was looking unsettled. Glaukos needed to be of use or else, what was the point of him?
