Moonspear Definitely a time gap

Echoed o's were met with a smiling Charon while he considered other cool things he could shout into the cave to get echoed back to him. Charon hadn't expected anyone to be nearby to hear his echo-game, and so when someone suddenly landed behind him he visibly startled. The hairs in his neck rose and he turned around quickly to face his opponent.

It was even more surprising when the wolf suggested a fight was coming. Charon thought to recognise him in the flash of the moment, either by scent or by appearance, to be one of Ame's wolves and not a trespasser. He didn't recnognise a lack of malice in the attack, however, and so teeth were bared and tail curled over his back. White tail was puffed and carried as a flag, while ears folded against skull and head was risen. "Stand down, subordinate!" Charon snarled with surprising ferocity, for even though the wounds on his shoulders were not entirely healed (though nearly so), he was ready to defend his place if he needed to — and he knew the best way to do so was perhaps to show he meant serious business and to mark his boundaries. Being lunged at was, unless it was clearly playful, not within Charon's desires presently.
