Redsand Canyon remando

The cave Germanicus had selected for the meeting was open and airy, and at this particular point in the afternoon, sunlight streamed in through several openings in the wall of the canyon. 

Ruenna waited beside Germanicus at the foot of the pillar. It was hard to believe that there was need for this conversation so early in the season, before even the Wolf Moon had grown entirely full. But two of their number had already strayed, and those were just the ones who had been caught. 

Ruenna's eyes lit warmly as each wolf appeared, welcoming each soldier or citizen with a nod, smile, or wag of her tail. The wolves of Mereo would find her looking more robust on this day, a far cry from her usual wan appearance. Liveliness hummed in Ruenna's chest and played merrily across her features.
