Moonspear her vestal livery is but sick and green

The news that Charon had children on the way took precedence over his doubt about Aesop (though that did sting.) Shit, kid, you do? That thought warred worse with Aesop's memory of Charon than his leadership role did. It took a moment to realize his misstep. He was still in hot water, it wouldn't do well to diminunize Charon. Not a kid anymore, though. Habit, my bad.

Charon's doubts were well founded, even Aesop could accept that. I was at the Bay when I was needed, he countered, careful to watch his tone. I was more of a father to you than Ragnar ever was. Things just got... the wrong kind of heavy. He thought back to his fight with Burke, which he won by such a thin margin it hardly seemed a victory. Give me a chance, 's all I'm askin'.
