Moonspear This Is Just a Dream

that's fine too ^^

She seemed caught unawares, which Charon sort of liked. He was in a foul mood after being reminded of Dhole, and seeing others suffer in any way, but emotional ways most of all, made him feel better about himself. Without realising it he had puffed himself up even beyond his normal posturing to declare his rank, and once he realised this he relaxed somewhat, though tail remained curled over his back and head tall and proud.

There was a cut along the right side of his face that still smarted, a scab grown across it that was visible when he turned his face, and his head was pounding after the missed prey opportunity. After Pyx' introduction Charon said, a little less impatient than before but still with a gruffness to his voice (caused mostly by the headaches), "I'm Charon Ostrega. Ame is my mate." There was a brief silence between them that some might consider uncomfortable, but he barely registered it through the headaches.

"I take it normally you're better at actually catching the fish?" he asked, sounding more unkind than he had intended. He just wanted to mock her, for old time's sake or whatever, but it ended up coming out more like an insult than he had intended.

All that fucking Dhole's fault.
