Moonspear her vestal livery is but sick and green

Charon wasn't sure how to feel about Aesop returning to the pack just like that. And so close to the birth of his children, too. He looked at the both of them, Dash seeming to mirror however he felt which meant he hadn't formed much of an opinion on the 'stranger' yet. Mixed emotions rose up in his gut at the thought of Aesop. He'd been raised by him, in part, had learned some good shit and some bad shit from that guy. For that, Charon appreciated him, but how long would he stay this time? He'd gone before, so what was to say he'd stick around? Maybe he'd be gone in a week's time without a word — Charon simply couldn't rely on him. And with his children soon to be born, he needed someone he could rely on.

"What's to say you'll stay this time?" Charon couldn't help but ask. "I have pups on the way, Aesop. I need someone I can trust to be there for them. Someone who'll take their responsibility." He frowned, because he wished that he could say that Aesop was all of those things, but he knew in his heart that he was far from it. Dash had gone before, but he'd said he was going to leave, and he'd returned now. Aesop, though, he was a wildcard, and a risk that Charon would've gladly taken before... But now, with pups on the way, he was not so sure.
