Stavanger Bay hiding out

While Charon thought it a ridiculous advice at first, he realised moments later that he had been so engulfed in the game of being a Beta that he sometimes did forget to play. He used to love playing, and as she said it, he realised how much he missed just being a child. He had everything he wanted (well, nearly everything) when storms weren't terrorising his pack, and yet he felt strangely unsatisfied. What was missing? Was it really something that could be solved with mere play?

"We will," Charon said, determined the pack would make it eventually. They would get more members and they would flourish, he was certain of it. "I hope I'll find whatever's missing." After saying it, Charon realised that he was talking about things he'd only said in his head, not out loud, and shook his head, grinning and saying, "Never mind.", while another clap of thunder outlined his face.
