Redsand Canyon alveus

germanicus was not an individual moved toward physical affection. by now @Ruenna would have discovered this for herself. the imperator instead found himself completing small tasks near their shared space. thus far he had lined the walkway to the den-mouth with medium-sized slateblue stones and found a large hide to drape across the entrance for the duration of winter. any plants the man discovered had been lay to dry on the shelves inside for her inspection.

while he was often awake and gone into the darkness before early morning, training the soldiers, he returned to eat a mid-morning meal with his wife and to speak of mereo.

the shadow chased memories in his mind.

in the afternoon he looked for @Diesel and @Kallik, chuffing for them to join himself and @Glaukos in a wide and flat space free of snow and populated by cold red sand. a sparring ground.
