Somewhere in the darkness shines a little light on a blue horizon

Osprey was amused and kept smiling all the way through the story. Shiv reminded her of a magpie she had met in the plateau once and, which had surprised her with the ability to talk and even have a touch of intelligence too. She chuckled at "very cool wolf", "dancing with the crafting bears", "tummy ache" and "the nerd of the pack". The story itself might be lacking in a distinct plot-line, well-shaped out character depth and a lot of other things, but there was something that eve the most elaborate story-tellers sometimes didn't possess. A touch of personality, making this simple tale original. It was so Charon through and through - the expressions, the adventures that both he and his heroine enjoyed and she didn't find it that hard to believe that there was a "nerd of the pack" somewhere among the Bay's ranks too. There was also a moral about true friendship to learn from.

In the end - even though there was a lot of room for improvement in the future, Charon's story had been nice, kept her focused and making her forget the aching paws. That said quite a lot about one tale. She even wanted to tell, if he knew that he was adorable, but decided against it. You could tell this to a little kid or a grown-up, but not for a boy his age. It would offend him now. "So, do you know another tale about Shiv's and Leyno's adventures together?" she asked him curiously. "Because you did well and I want to know more."
