Moonspear and i wonder

For how miserable and beat down he had been when he had first come in, Rannoch sure filled up the space between them with words now. Charon was glad that Lyra had done well though he had not expected different from his daughter. Rannoch offered to patrol and Charon nodded absently while Amekaze mentioned that more patrols were appreciated.

Rannoch's combination of sitter and coach seemed useful, assuming that he had anything good to teach his children, anyway. Amekaze spoke of Jarilo and Charon was quick to tack on, "Galaxy and Vela are both very adamant about learning about the night skies, though they haven't been playing well together all that much. Maybe you could teach them it's important for sisters to get along." Had he favoured one child over the other much Charon might've thought that what didn't kill them only made them stronger, but Vela was his mini-me and therefore an automatic favourite, and Galaxy had nearly died in that crag which had put her right on top of daddy's list too; he didn't want to lose her again, and had only appreciated how much he loved her when she was gone. He wished they'd look out for each other better.
