Totoka River So this is it....

She nudged Charon's shoulder back, though more hesitantly, since it was only her second encounter with him. It felt strange, but even stranger if she did not reciprocate. He was a nice guy after all; she didn't feel like making him feel bad or uncomfortable. She pulled away and smirked, tail waving gently.

His lie was not that hard to detect, he made that obvious to himself. A feeling of dread entered her mind as he described a bear attack that killed one of his siblings and a packmate. Potema's ears flattened as she imagined the thought of that happening to herself. "Th-that's horrible." She said, genuinely feeling this emotion. "Did you kill the bear?" If that ever happened to her pack, the bear would have been tore apart instantly.
