    Summary

    Shame formed in a heavy lump, until he swallowed it down his dry throat. If his consumption led to his capture and it was discovered, he'd be crucified. Lucius himself would likely be the one to haul him up, as Lucius always had it out for him ever since he'd risen into the ranks of the frumentarii.

    If he escaped, if no one had to know, he could find his way back to Caesar's good graces. Caesar didn't even have to know why he was so interested in ensuring that all went according to what Caesar wanted.

    Vulpes hadn't felt fear from the wrong side of things in years, not since that idiot centurion--long since dead and not to be missed or noted-- had demanded that he be lashed to the cross for being brilliant. So orders were broken? He'd won a battle that otherwise would have lost dozens more men before its completion. He won the war, really.

    Set in a world where Craig Boone has faced Bitter Springs once more and been told war happens and sometimes you just do awful things, too bad. He's taken that to heart, unfortunately for Vulpes.
