Firestone Hot Springs communication is key

The question came as a complete surprise to Charon. He looked a little startled as the question was posed — Charon had never considered girls that much. Perhaps because he had been so busy with dealing with the grief his short life had provided thus far, and perhaps because he focussed on other things, such as fantasy stories and rank. "Uh..." he said, looking unsure what to say; it was quite a feat to get Charon to search for words, as he always had something to say, normally.

"Yeah, sure," Charon said when Casmir asked him to check out the berries. He considered the previous question while he got out of the heat, feeling a comfortable coolness flood over him as he shook his fur. "I never really thought about girlfriend kinda stuff yet, I guess," Charon said. "Why do you ask, do you have a girlfriend?" He didn't mean to put Casmir on the spot, and he didn't need to tell if he didn't want, but Charon was just curious what had spurred the question, really.
