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

last round :) i'll archive this in a week's time.

Charon was relieved that the whole family was together again. After everyone had exchanged greetings, Charon trod on, continuing to lead without considering that it was not his place to; so used had he gotten to lead in Thistle Cloud's mental absence. Things would get better, Charon told himself, but he had little faith that they actually would at that moment, as he trod on through the storms. They should be lucky to have their homes at the end of this whole ordeal, he knew.

The youth moved on through the woods, not finding a safe place for the pack to stay, and he didn't stop moving with the group until they reached the western fjords. There he found a cave in a crack in the fjords, and he decided they'd stay here. "We'll stay here until the worst of it is over," Charon instructed his family. "Everything's gonna be okay." Charon wasn't so sure that what he said was actually true, but he couldn't tell them the truth -- that he didn't know if they'd have a home after this was over; heck, that he didn't know they'd even be alive to see the aftermath of it.

Once inside, Charon shook his fur, wet from the rain, and he curled up by a wall, hoping the rest would join him so they wouldn't get too cold by sharing body warmth.
