Moonspear on the move

new round, no post order! feel free to pop in at any time @Yama!

The call was joined by several; their joining might not sound very harmonious, but it made Charon feel harmonious nonetheless. A warm smile painted his face into contentness as he finished the howl and looked approvingly upon his lil' helpers. He nosed Yami and Arcturus on the cheek as the first wolves filtered in. There were two things happening worthy of note: The first one was Vela's spat with Drogon. Charon echoed Amekaze's sentiment, having wondered himself if Drogon had left their ranks. To see him here left him feeling mixed, for he was still not sure if he would approve of Drogon as Vela's partner, should it come to that; he also knew that him being so scarce had hurt his beautiful daughter dearly. But they also could use the capable paws while the pack was relatively small, and so Charon did not think too poorly of it.

The other notable thing was Gannet, who'd eagerly played with the pups the last time they had gathered the pack to meet them. Then, the Omega had been cheerful and playful, but now he clearly took a background role and did not interact much with the pups at all, seeming to choose the silent guardian role. Charon wondered what had changed, but he did not spend much effort on it because right now, his first priority was getting the pups to the rendezvous site safely.

"Let's head out," Charon said after all necessary and unnecessary words were spoken, and he started to trek through the forest, leaving the den behind. He made up the front, figuring that others would follow and, should the pups not follow him instinctively, that others would nudge them along.
