Redsand Canyon I never stay in one place too long

sorry for grainy photo! i can start them a new thread tomorrow (backdated) or u can! but i think this will be his last post in this most entirely epic and unexpected thread <33

it was settled. it had taken several sorts of effort, including the more exhilarating part which now he could revisit with his —

wife.

"i will rank you as an principales then." germanicus was suddenly and unexpectedly nervous. "i too have been sleeping out-of-doors."

he cleared his throat. "there is a place in the forest." he described its location briefly, in the woodland beyond the sparring arena, delivering her precise distances.

"if it is to your liking then i will meet with you tonight there. if it is not we will look tomorrow." the imperator felt accomplished. he wanted to be married. and with some semblance of internal security regained, he stood taller.

the eagle leaned forward to pluck a tuft of his own hair from her coat. "perhaps we should wash." or maybe it was not necessary. "i must meet the crown prince for today's lesson." 

wife.

the pain seemed compounded, refiltered through fennec as a lens. he dipped his head and made as if to step away. and then as if remembering germanicus returned and sheepishly delivered a kiss to her cheek with a tentativeness that denied how he had been earlier.

then the man was off, and some part of the dour dark cloud towhee had once sensed about him had dissipated.
