Sea Lion Shores ours is to smile at your passing, friend

all fine, we can wrap this up here :) feel free to post again or just archive now!

Finally there was the sweet feeling of satisfaction when Charon's teeth met Blythe's scruff. He tasted blood, though he'd intended simply to throw her to the ground; in the heat of the fight the inexperienced youth must've bitten down harder than intended. Atreyu tumbled over as he managed to keep Blythe in place for Charon to grab her, but as he hit her Charon let go of her nape.

Blythe was quick to insult them, but before Charon had time to step forth again she turned and ran. Not before parting a last insult did she run away from the shores as well as the Bay. Charon cast Atreyu's look and shook his head while he licked the blood from his lips. She was lucky today, and he hoped it would serve a warning for her to never return here. Whatever had become of Kevlyn, Blythe would never tell him the truth, anyway, and so he'd rather just never see her again.

"That should teach her," Charon growled, and he turned around towards the Bay. He nudged Atreyu's shoulder in appreciative gesture, feeling safe with his pack mate and friend at his side, and started to trot on home, making sure to keep the pace low so that Atreyu had no trouble keeping up.
