Stavanger Bay reach for the light

Floki's ears only splayed further at Atreyu's heated tone. But then he grew indignant, resenting his packmates' reactions to Charon's news.  He couldn't quite explain the feeling, but his hackles bristled slightly and he stood up a little straighter next to Charon. He would stand by his brother, even if Atreyu and Thistle Cloud wouldn't.

He shifted his gaze to Atreyu as Charon addressed him, his voice taking on a more colloquial tone. Whatever Atreyu's feelings were on the delivery of the news, he had to agree with what Charon said -- it made sense to start fresh somewhere, away from the damaged Stavanger Bay, and to bolster their ranks with Amekaze's wolves. He watched the older wolf carefully, waiting for his response.
