Moonspear Kiss me quick

Dhole's question came as a surprise to Charon. It made him realise with a shock that he considered Flóki a brother more than he considered Thistle his mother. Maybe because he'd helped raise Flóki and his siblings, or maybe because he still always called Thistle his adoptive mother, never just mother. Charon barely remembered his biological parents, but somehow he'd always felt some sort of respect towards them — they hadn't chosen to leave him by dying, after all — and therefore had never out loud wanted to refer to Thistle and Ragnar as his real parents (even though they pretty much were).

After a moment of thoughtful silence, Charon said: "My parents died when I was little. Thistle and Ragnar adopted me and my brother Levi." A pained expression crossed Charon's face briefly as he thought of Levi, who'd gone missing shortly before Charon's fight with Dante. "Ragnar died when Flóki was just born, but my adoptive mother Thistle came with us during the move. Flóki and I aren't brothers by blood, though it does sort of feel that way." Especially during the whole Moonspear thing Charon had grown especially close to Flóki and the other way around. When the other Bay wolves, including his adoptive mother, had been resistant, Flóki had been supportive all the way through.
