Greatwater Lake Milk-colored eye

There were many things in life that Charon thought were cool and others might frown upon; he was a rough-housing boy that liked all the cool violent things, and surely Levi would have laughed at him, perhaps even apologised on his behalf, if he was here with Charon and Potema now. After showing his scar, Potema asked how it happened. He hadn't expected any compliments, but felt a pang of disappointment at not getting any regardless. Maybe they'd come after the story.

"Well, I met this monster in a place called Dawnlark Plains. I'd travelled real far and was just taking a break at sunset when suddenly... POW!" Charon widened his eyes when he loudly screamed 'POW!' to try and make the story more exciting. "There was this monster who looked sort of like a wolf, but wasn't really a wolf. I think I heard someone call it a dog or something. Whatever, anyway, the monster came right at me! It was too late to react 'cause coward snuck up on me, so before I knew it, he had me grabbed at the neck." So far, it was all sort of true, but Charon decided to tell the alternate ending to the story that he told everyone. He'd never tell them that he had in fact been rescued by another wolf; he liked his ending better: "So then I managed to break free, and I was like, bit him all over the place and he was all bleeding, and my neck hurt but I just kept going, it was like I was a beast!" Charon waited briefly to see if Potema looked impressed yet before continuing with the story. "So then after I scratched out his eyes, the beast decided to retreat, and I was like, 'yeah, you better run, coward!' and watched as he ran away."

Charon looked genuinely proud of the deceitful ending to his story; perhaps because a big part of him wanted to believe it, and another part of him actually was beginning to believe that that was how the story went (more or less). Without him wetting himself, without the other wolf intervening... Just Charon beating the shit out of the monstrous dog.
