gjalla teased, but seutonius followed with a sort of gladness. to be soaked cold and free of any distracting elements would be satisfactory. then he and the warrioress might return to their easier banter, discourse without this sudden new edge to it. still, he was pleased to know that he was not alone in his affliction, and found himself wondering what form it took for gjalla.
had he offended her? the roman did not think so -- she would have left him here at once, had it been so. instead she had appraised him with the frankness of a woman standing in a fishwife market, the coldness of her -- delight? -- striking as it lived in her eyes.
or his body. so, not only did she favor men, she thought of him as he did of her, at least for this moment. seutonius, strategist, tactician, campaigner -- he found himself unsure! of how to conceptualize this thought, and so he simply did not.
what an odd meeting.
beyond her he splashed with high legs, almost feeling a stallion in the motion; he submerged himself at once and rose with hardly a gasp, only a low hiss in the dim light. seutonius turned, glancing now for gjalla.
