Moonspear Playing with fire

Dhole's insult was funny as always to Charon, and he shot her a look of mock-apology as she said that she was attempting to hunt. Charon grinned, in a chirpy mood today, and said: "Well, I was trying to hone my warrior-skills." He added some pretend-hurt in it, trying to use the same tone of voice and expression that Dhole had used when she said that she was trying to hunt. "Gotta stay sharp and practise if you want to be strong." He grinned and made a small feinting gesture as though he was going to jump at her again, but of course didn't, because it was obvious that Dhole didn't want to and while he sometimes enjoyed making her do things she didn't want to, Charon wasn't going to today.

She had asked him to join him on the hunt and after a short pause he decided: "Yep, let's go." He considered tossing in a joke about her being so rubbish they'd probably find very little anyway, but decided against it in the last moment, figuring that he'd let her frail ego keep this un' — and anyway, if they would keep bitching back and forth, they wouldn't get anywhere and end up doing nothing useful. And chasing away any potential prey too. He said: "Lead the way!" and awaited her lead, onwards to prey and hunting.
