Moonspear rise 'til we fall

His gait was improving, though the leg that had been bitten down on remained a little stiff every time he had just woken up. Charon was eager to keep it mobile though so he made sure to start slow and do some warming up and running before starting his day -- this he did when no one was around for he did not want his family to think that he was weak in any way. The Ostrega patriarch had started working on @Amekaze's birthing den for next year (blissfully unaware of yet that she would not birth him any more children in the coming year), feeling giddy to welcome another bunch of Ostrega children into the world. He'd found the old den in the forested lower areas of Moonspear where winter's touch did not reach as strongly as it did higher up, and inspected whether it would do for the coming year.

Deciding that it was good enough, Charon started to fiddle around at the den; first, clearing the entrance from rubble to make it better accessible. While cleaning away dead branches from the entrance Charon wondered if his children would birth children this year; they were growing older, would turn three in the next year, yet he had never heard of them bringing home a boy. Had he been more perceptive Charon could've easily seen some boys that played parts in the lives of his daughters, but at present he could think of none. Idly he wondered if they even wished to, though he hoped so, so that they could further Moonspear's legacy.
