Firefly Glen the bittersweet between my teeth

Once Charon might've empathised with this fellow — when he was just a kid and everyone saw him as such. But now he was an adult and he held respect just by being who he was after fighting hard for it. He didn't even stop to think he was ever anything like this boy — should anyone suggest it he would've likely laughed in their face. He thought the boy weak and certainly wondered what his daughter thought hanging out with such a dweeb. The only thing he could think of was that his daughter was compassionate to befriend such a loser.

Upon the question, Charon's face remained cold as he said, "No." He then turned around, glancing over his shoulder once more before vanishing back in Moonspear's direction, unless Rian said anything more.
