Firestone Hot Springs Is it getting any better

It was one of the first times since finding Moonspear that Charon had left the pack lands. He still had lots to explore back there, but he decided to go for a walk outside of pack lands. He was content with how well the pack was doing; their numbers were beyond his imagining, and there was barely space for more should they want to join up. There was that thing with Nishu, but Charon paid it little mind for now. He was just a bitter, jealous old fool who was cynical about the world because he no longer thought himself worthy a knight. Well, he'd probably never been one to start with. Not like Sir Knight Starchaser Charon, anyway.

The young Alpha looked around the pools he found here at the Hotsprings, almost as though hoping he'd find Casmir in one of them. It had been some time since the pair of them had met, and so much had happened — including something that made sure Charon hadn't visited Casmir. He hoped to see the boy again, because their last and only meeting, though it'd started out poorly, had ended well.

While he glanced about the pools, unfortunately not finding Casmir, Charon noticed a heap of wolf a little while off. The wolf looked scruffy and like a loner, and Charon approached carefully. He couldn't tell if she was asleep or awake from where he stood, and his tail twitched tensely as he approached to find out.
