Neverwinter Forest all around the world

It was adorable how hard Eshe tried to get Scimitar to like him, Charon noted; gosh, she was such a nice person. How on earth did she end up with a giant grump like Scimitar? Then again, he and Amekaze were super different, too. Maybe that was just how things worked. Still, though... She deserved better. Charon kept reminding himself that he had decided to give Scimitar a fair shot, but the longer they interchanged a variety of tiny amounts of words, the less likely it seemed that he and Scimitar'd ever be friends. Charon didn't like the thinness of Scimitar's reaction, a watery and poorly hidden lack of enthusiasm in his gestures. He didn't realise at all that it was his own tightness that caused this reaction, didn't realise that he was staring into a mirror instead of a brick wall.

"Yeah, sounds great!" Charon said, agreeing to doing something fun sometimes, though he would much rather do fun things without Scimitar there, to be honest. He didn't seem like the life of a party. He tacked on, "Maybe Ame could come, too. Oh, she's my—" He faltered for a second or so before he awkwardly added, "—my mate." They weren't actually mates yet, but Charon was reading the signs well and he was sure that they would seal the deal any day now. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry much. He knew that she was his and she knew it too, and everyone else knew it 'cause he was Alpha male and it was his mountain and stuff. Anyone who would dare stand in his way would be a fool to do so.

Charon smiled warmly at Eshe as he said, "I should be heading back. It was nice meeting you." He looked at Scimitar and said, though there was a hint of doubt in his voice, "Both of you." Maybe a double date (or triple, if Dhole and Flóki wanted to come..?) would be a nice way for them to get to know each other, but somehow Charon doubted that Scimitar'd warm up easily. He reminded Charon of Dante in too many ways for him to think they could ever be truly friends. But he was Eshe's mate, and so he would at least try.
