His girls were always up to mischief, but Charon didn't mind. He adored @Alya , @Hydra and @Lyra , though he frequently had trouble keeping them apart. They look alike a lot, and though their personalities luckily differed bits and pieces, he couldn't always tell. He was also often goofy and allowed them to trick him, sort of using games and play as an excuse for his lack of ability in telling them apart. They seemed to adore him, though, so Charon didn't mind much; all he wanted was confident, proud children that respected and loved him. The fact they at times attacked some of his other friends and family only amused him. @Korei Julia was the odd one out. Her fur looked like him, but her face didn't entirely (she'd inherited that from her grandmother, but Charon'd never known her long enough to be able to tell) and Charon at times struggled, wondering if she could be Lazarus'. Of course, he never told anyone else that — but maybe the child felt it, because he was at times more strict with her than with the triplets.

@Amekaze was still beautiful and powerful to him (or beautiful again, after giving birth to the pups, he supposed) and Charon enjoyed the little moments that they spent together, with or without the children. Recently he had been gone a day or so, exploring the nearby territories but returning little of use. All in all, Charon was content with the state of the pack despite their relatively small stature (though not so small he worried; what they had was good stuff). The only thing he lacked at times was more time spent with his friends and more time exploring. But he had many scouts so the former had precedence for him right now. He'd taken up patrolling again now that the whole pack looked after the pups with the parents, too.

Today Charon was lazing around the rendezvous site. The air was crisp and there was a chill to the wind that promised colder days ahead, but all in all he was content. He was, for the moment, enjoying a moment of solitude in which his children were amusing themselves, knowing it would likely not be long before it was over and he'd be required to lavish them with more attention.
