Charon wondered when Julia didn't pick up on his hints that maybe something was just different with her. He shook his head -- it didn't matter, and 'Ranny' was taken, anyway, though he thought Julia might've made a good match with 'Terry' -- and listened as she told him about Terance teaching her to fight. "That's great," he said. Charon was caught off-guard by her question — Am I improving — because he didn't know what to think of it. Improving at what? He didn't understand that what she was really asking was 'am I good enough for you' and that the improvement she meant was at being loved by her own father.

"Of course you are," he said, blinking his eyes in confusion. Then she went to ask about why she was different and he shrugged. "I don't know." He thought of Lazarus a brief moment, something he hadn't done in a really long time, but considering her personality he didn't doubt that she was not Lazarus'. "My brothers were different from me, too. They were grey with teal eyes. Not everyone looks like their parents. Sometimes they skip a generation, I guess." He had never thought too much of it, really. If he'd had any thought she might be Lazarus', he would've killed her long ago. "I don't remember much about how my parents looked, either. Maybe you looked like one of them." He only knew his mother'd been white, but that was all.
