Charon wasn't sure why Levi liked shells. Maybe he pretended they were treasure and kept them hoarded somewhere. Levi said that he wanted to go home while Charon tried to get a glimpse of the shell, and Charon nodded and nudged Levi's shoulder as he came into motion. "Cool, I'd like to see it when we're home," Charon said and he started to trot homewards, making sure Levi followed closely.

While they walked home, Charon looked over his shoulder occasionally, making sure that nobody was following them, least of all the creepy grey wolf that had harassed them earlier.
