Redsand Canyon mortifera

sorry for all the tags! these ones are to set timeline. this thread is set for may 15. participants should expect to arrive in akashingo by may 18. they will be heading back on the night of the 25th- morning of the 26th. and they should be back in mereo by may 29. these is a loose timeframe and affected by IC factors! if anyone has any questions, PM me, & zoo if u want a BTS thread set before this one, let me know <3

it would be @Arsenio's decision whether or not he and tamar relocated to mereo in the imperator's absence. what germanicus did know was that @Kallik would be close. @Drakon, @Tierra, and @Maxim would stay behind as a neat vanguard for the skilled soldier.

his congratulations had been given to the pale man and lady @Aquene. if lady @Qiao meant to return to the palace, the invitation was there for her to join his band and be escorted. 

germanicus would be taking @Phox, @Glaukos, and @Killdeer with him. he called them before the dawn to assemble beside the westernmost border of mero.

"i will return to you, and to the children," he had told @Ruenna. "i intend to use this visit as a reason to report our formal departure as an outpost."

now he stood at the head of their column. the imperator gave a last look to mereo.

"move out."

wanted to get this in my threadlog for record-keeping!

He didn't wish to leave Towhee here—not when she was about to pop—but Phox knew his duties would keep his mind busy and his sister would be in good hands. Aquene was a good midwife, and Phox knew that Towhee had been through this before. There was no need for him to crowd around being the overbearing uncle while they waited things out.

At the order, Phox began to move with the others, including his grandson, toward their destination.
