Rising Sun Valley leidon

This was the second woman from Rivenwood he had come across, and the second to hold the question. What about the situation was hard to understand, exactly?

What I want? That has never mattered. He countered, frowning.
—What happened? Heda had been den-bound with Druid, so to think they had not spoken of the events leading up to Glaukos' dismissal was an impossibility. What was she trying to get out of him? What did she want?

He breathes deeply to settle the ire in his chest.

I was going to see the children. I had finished a patrol. Before I could get there, Druid appeared and accused me of—breaking Rivenwood. Of ruining things. She told me she wanted me to leave. Glaukos did not want to think about that day but these women were insistent; they kept appearing and they kept asking.

I was angry. All I've done for her— his nape prickled with frustration all over again, but he stood firmly there and breathed, and swallowed it down. And when I did not answer her the way she expected, she came at me. I did not mean for her to be hurt. But I left, as she wanted.

Always doing as he's told.
