Moonspear you might catch a star

Dhole ended up giving up on trying to find her aunt, realising it was going to be hard to climb a mountain this way. Flóki asked if she could get home on her own, and Charon waited to hear her reply. He glanced up at the mountain, not sure if Dhole getting hurt on its slopes made the mountain more formidable or more dangerous. Maybe both. Charon didn't mind, though. A bit of danger kept you alive and looking out for yourself. And anyway, Dhole could've just as easily slipped in a forest or a plateau or a plainsland. Every territory had its downsides.

"We'll find her," Charon reassured Dhole with a confident smile, even though he wasn't sure at all if they would find her. He mentally mapped 'Aunt Flea's appearance and waited to hear if Dhole wanted to go home -- and if she could -- or if she would wait here until they'd return, hopefully with her aunt.
