The Sunspire the veil lifted

Amekaze wasn't giving much away, which was frustrating for Charon. While he was confident in himself, he knew that others weren't always on the same page, and some would judge him for his age and lack of experience. He really wanted this to go through, because he did honestly think that they would complement each other well. It didn't bother Charon that they knew so little about each other; he had confidence that it would pan out well. Now that he had finished speaking all he could do was wait for her verbal response; the smirk that twitched as her lips seemed promising, but ultimately gave away nothing.

Relief flooded Charon when she agreed to his plan. The confident smile never wavered, but he realised just how nervous he'd been about her answer, regardless. It was a weird feeling, because Charon wasn't used to feeling nervous, let alone about someone else's opinion. Maybe it was because it was such a life-determining situation.

It surprised him that she wanted a mountain. He'd thought the Heartwood might be a nice place to settle, but then, the storm and fires raging had chopped away good parts of it, so maybe it was not as suited anyway. Then there was a pine forest near, too, but none of those options would work. Then again, Charon enjoyed sitting here and overviewing the world. It gave him the feeling that he was as strong, majestic and powerful as he felt most days. It felt like a throne that he was deserving of; so maybe a mountain would not be so bad.

He turned to her with a nod, accompanied by the same confident smile as before. A mountain it would be, befitting of them and their pack. "You know more about the mountains near here than me. Are any suited? I know there's some south of Stavanger Bay. I could check those out, after resting up at the Bay and informing the pack." He looked at her, wondering why they shouldn't just get to the Bay, gather everyone and move from there on out. "Or you could come with me." Perhaps it would be less practical if she needed to inform her wolves and all of that, but at least they'd get going. Now that being an Alpha was so close to his grasp, Charon wanted nothing more than to speed up the process. Perhaps it'd be more practical to wait a week or so, so that he could inform his wolves and she hers, he realised, but he decided to wait for her answer rather than add that thought.
