Firestone Hot Springs communication is key

Fighting wolves sounded pretty cool, in theory, were it not for Charon's own up close and personal experiences with aggressive wolves. "That's pretty cool," he said, deciding to skip over his own misfortunate events for a change and offer the spotlight to someone else — perhaps for the first time ever. He watched as the youth drew himself from the hot water, and found himself with the urge to do the same, considering how hot he was starting to feel.

When Casmir said that he didn't want to be out after dark because it might be dangerous, Charon opened his mouth to say that danger wasn't around more just because it was dark (in his experience, it was around equally much, if not more, in the daytime). However, he kept his mouth shut. Also for likely the first time ever, Charon decided to hold his tongue; there was no need to scare this random kid. "Probably a good idea 'til you're a bit older. I bet your parents are proud of you," he ended up saying, though Charon had no clue why he was saying these things. He didn't even really care for Casmir, but somehow still found himself saying things just to make him feel good. Who knew if his parents were really proud or what.
