Gyrfalcon's Keep This world falls on me

The subject flowed from imaginary friends and fantasy adventures to leadership, a more mature subject that Charon was more interested in pursuing. He had considered lately that maybe he was growing a little old to be hanging out with a Lauren friend, and maybe he should focus on Adult Stuff rather than stay a kid forever, especially since he was pretty much his family's only hope and he needed to protect and take care of Levi.

Charon listened when Dante spoke about leadership, clearly interested in every detail of what he had to say. He nodded occasionally, and when Dante finished speaking he was swift to say, "I think I'd be a pretty good leader, because I'm pretty awesome." Speaking of which... "Is Osprey a leader too? I bet she's, like, the Alpha or something!" Osprey was pretty awesome, after all, and in Charon's mind that was pretty much the qualification anyone needed to be a leader. He knew that Thistle Cloud lead Stavanger Bay alone at the moment, and she could use the help; Charon was certain that he would make a really great leader in a couple of months.
