Moonspear before the night

Amekaze was first to slip into the cave and Charon went in after her. A smile marked his face when she called it a 'nice find', and he answered: "I know, it's beautiful, isn't it?" While he mentioned the word 'beautiful', Charon nosed Ame's cheek gingerly and briefly, before he pulled back and watched the cave's interior alongside her. After she had sought a place and settled -- the dry spot that he'd had in mind, too, which made sense since it was the obvious choice -- Charon moved on over and picked a spot by Ame's side.

As he lay down he felt a little awkward, for he'd never really laid down by anyone's side like that, but on the outside Charon was his usual, confident self. He lay down just behind Ame, so that their bodies touched and he lay his head on her back / shoulder, assuming that she would appreciate the warmth after the snow they'd come out of.
