Altar of Twilight I was angry with my foe

Charon was pleased with the wolf's submission though he thought it a bit weird that Hydra would introduce him while he remained silent through it all. She rushed through the introductions, clearly taking into account that he had puppies on his mind. She said that he was a great hunter, but what else was there?

He turned to the stranger and after a quick introduction — "I'm Charon Ostrega" — he could not help but ask, "How are you around young pups?" Because at the end of the day, right now, his youngest were the most present on his mind and he needed to know how he'd handle himself around them. If his pups would be safe with this wolf as part of their pack.
