Stavanger Bay [bwp/storm] what will you do when they come for you

gonna post again to keep this moving along. probably easiest if we do this in rounds and avoid post order to keep this moving :-)
 @Thistle Cloud @Levi feel free to pop in whenever you're back from absence! i assumed charon couldn't find them for now b/c i didn't want to npc your characters too much <3 (same goes for @Atreyu if you wanted )

Charon was met by three frightened children, but he could not find Thistle or Levi anywhere. "Fuck!" It had saddened him to think how little was left of their pack, but it frightened him that he was the only adult in charge of three pups now. Luckily they were old enough to walk and talk and, if needed, run, but he wasn't even sure where he would take them. Charon had hoped to leave that all up to Thistle Cloud. Now he needed to take charge.

"Hey, everything's gonna be okay," he said in hushed tones, trying to comfort his frightened siblings.

The young Naturalist turned his head to the sky and looked at the darkened skies. The lightning had struck at the eastern frays of the territory, and it looked like the darkest clouds were coming from that direction, too. "We gotta head west," Charon said, to no one in particular -- he knew his siblings would probably, hopefully, follow without thought anyway -- and he looked at the pups.

After howling to inform Levi and Thistle that he was headed west from the den with the pups, Charon nuzzled the heads of each of his siblings and said: "Alright, you gotta listen, right? Mom's out, but we gotta get to a safe place, and she'll find us there, okay? We'll all be alright." Charon didn't want to lose another of his siblings -- one had been more than enough. With a heavy heart he started to head on west, still not sure where he'd go -- somewhere sheltered, somewhere underground perhaps, a den, a cave in the cliffs, the slave pits, wherever would come across his path first, really, as the young Beta had no idea what he was doing, just that he needed to flee from the angry skies above -- and if the three pups wouldn't follow him, he'd nudge them to make sure they did.
