Moonspear Ripcord

The thing about cannibalism is that it wasn't pleasant to talk about. Charon didn't feel uncomfortable at the thought of eating her — he'd done what needed to be done, and she would've been no good to them underground — but he wasn't about to tell his younger brother that he had eaten one of their friends and valued pack mates because they needed the food. Part of this was pride, perhaps, for Charon liked to believe he was in control of the situation.

He looked at his brother, who looked peaceful, and smiled. Then he turned away from the cliff, nosing Amekaze as he went, inviting her along silently to wherever.
