Brief, melodramatic XD

Anatoliy had been rather quiet the entire time they packed. The war was over, thank god, but it still left heaviness in the air. He had be nervous the entire time, especially the moment Anann left his sight and her smell fading into the wind. All he had been able to do was patrol as best as he could, but the anxiety had gotten to him and he had returned to their cabin. It was a pity they were leaving it behind. It had been hand built, but where they were going, there would be plenty more carpentry work to do. He made a deal with the Dauphin, after a brief meeting with him. The boat was going nowhere and that strange man allowed him to return into the territory and take the boat with him. That settled, he could leave a bit with an easier weight on his shoulders.

At Anann's call farewell, the Russo gave a brief one of thanks following hers, letting their duet of song simply fade out as they left the kingdom. How long had he been there? Over a year, almost two. But now they left, and the two of them were leaving together.

Anatoliy carried an extra two packs on his shoulders from the young colt, who had been too young to carry a heavy load for long, but the Russo regarded the extra work with little more than a grunt. He had been needing a workout of late, and it was good. Soon enough, they saw the gates of their new home, but the Russo barely gave it more than an apprehensive look. There was no point to hate this place, as he was going to live here now. As much as he had loved the easy access to the sea, he could have it in that bay. There would be more fish in the bay and the risks of open sea were lost. But something about it was missing. He was not thinking of running, but at least he had the sea at his feet.

At least he had Anann beside him rather than facing a strange place alone.
