Redsand Canyon might just fuck us over

Qiao didn't seem to have any concrete suspects; she only had speculations, one of them being that the queen's meat had been tainted. Kallik didn't even know it was possible to do that, but now he would be sure to inspect any meat given to Aquene that wasn't from an animal killed by his own jaws. He will request that any other food be left outside for him to check. Whether or not the pack would comply, he didnt know. He didn't expect that sort of thing to happen in Mereo, but he could never be too careful in his opinion. 

He was grateful that the other healer would stay and help Aquene when she went into labor; he felt some of his worry slip away. 

He was hoping Aquene was done here so that he could escort her back to their den, but he had no such luck. She had more questions, and he was growing impatient. His face was as composed as ever, though he wasn't sure how much he hid from his wife; she knew him too well.
