Moonspear who can blame him

The question came as a surprise to him. Charon hadn't given much thought to his girls ever leaving. He remembered catching word about their ideas vaguely but had somehow always assumed they'd stay until he and Ame were dead. He hadn't really considered much that Ame's demise would likely come before his own, had never thought about how much older she was than he. But then, Charon'd never been one to think of the future very much. He lived very muchly in the now.

So he didn't instantly know what to say when she asked the question, except: "Of course, I'll always love you." A reality where his pride and love for the trio would fade wasn't one that Charon thought feasible, ever; he loved them all far too much for that. Even if they'd leave, well... As long as the timing was right, he supposed. "But I hope you'll be there to see more siblings grow up before that time comes." He smiled warmly at Alya and nuzzled her cheek to emphasise that he would always love her, no matter what. His love was unconditional, but he still hoped that they'd be around to help raise future generations of Moonspear pups before it was their time to strike out on their own.
