Moonspear The Moon Shines Brightest

Charon smiled at Julia. He'd never taken the time to truly mourn the loss of his parents because he had needed to care for his siblings, and he'd never taken the time to mourn Kevlyn's loss because he'd never seen his dead body, nor that of his sister. He'd had many losses but most of it was shoved away underneath masks. He'd even used his tragic past often when he was younger to garner sympathy.

He nuzzled Julia's face -- more lovingly than he likely had in a long, long time -- as he said, "I'm glad I do." Then smiled as she promised that she wouldn't leave him. Charon was glad that he at least had his children here, even if not all of them were as perfect. Julia might have a lot of shortcomings in his view, but she was definitely one of his children and he loved her for that reason alone.

i'll fade this! ^^
