Firefly Glen The more I see I understand

The children grew silent, and Charon's attention turned mostly towards Sassafras as the situation had turned more serious now. They were at a standstill of sorts, ironically caused mostly by the three girls that wanted the chase so badly. Charon would've happily gone on being a snarky passive-aggressive fucker if they hadn't diffused his momentum of the threat. He didn't doubt that Sassafras was no longer scared at all.

There were many reactions that he had anticipated her to give, but not that one. Dead? He thought of Dhole and wondered if she already knew. Where did she live now, anyway? He'd run into her that day with Floki... So it had to be close enough. He tried shaking her from his thoughts. "Good;" he had said it before he knew it, but when he reached into his heart he could find nothing but happiness for Peregrine's death now. "Who leads now?" As that would fully determine whether he could one day stop hating Redhawk Caldera.

He glanced at his girls, wondering if he should let them have the joy of the chase. Just tell 'em to kill'n'attack because it wasn't like Sassafras was suddenly a friend just because they exchanged some information. And it'd be hilarious to see.
