Neverwinter Forest settling light

Charon's tail wagged and ears were folded back in untamed excitement as Shiv landed on his shoulder. It felt like forever since he had seen his bird friend; the last time had been when he'd met that other bird, UV, the one with the shiny feathers. When Shiv said that he had grown a lot and he must've eaten a lot of crabs, he chuckled, though did not disclose that he had eaten only very little crabs (they remained a challenge, especially compared to other small prey).

"Maaan, how have you been? I was just telling this wolf some stories when I ran into you - you're way better than that boring ole' wolf!" Charon meant the words: he'd rather spend time with Shiv than with most other wolves, because Shiv was cool, even now that he was, in his own mind, all grown up. Charon giggled ticklishly when Shiv's beak touched his skin while she groomed his fur.

The boy and the bird spent some time together before each going their own separate ways again, and Charon returned home with a broad smile on his face at having seen his bird friend again.
