Moonspear no rest for the parents

For a moment Pyx seemed fazed, but soon her surprise was replaced with the same kind of laughter that had captivated him.

Eventually their laughter died down, and Charon grinned as Pyx 'holy shit'ed. "Never had a near-death experience before?" he said, faux-casually. He had witnessed many things alike, of course, not never quite like this, not when you got away totally unscathed when you could've been dead. 'Holy shit' indeed.

"Shall we take our star gazing to lower reaches today, or you good to go?" he then asked. For anyone who'd known Charon when he was younger, they would've noticed that he had mellowed; but all those wolves were gone, so there was no one here for it. If it'd been Dhole, if it'd been a year and a half ago, he would've called her a wuss if she would refuse to go. Now he asked. Perhaps it was because he had felt the same fear when she'd nearly plumetted down there. He hadn't before realised how much he appreciated Pyx.
