Moonspear rise 'til we fall

Amekaze seemed more worried than Charon was; time would tell which of them was right. For the moment Charon did not want to worry yet. He knew he'd have to look if it came to it, or Arcturus would never forgive him. The boy had had a hard time processing Yami's loss, too. Charon could not help but wonder if Yami had wandered off on her own, like Julia had (though admittedly at a lot later age than Yami), but he could not fathom why. Why would they not even tell their parents if they'd want to go elsewhere or were unhappy? It made no sense to Charon, who, despite having wanderlusty paws, had also always been much of a homebody himself.

The subject of Blackfeather was tiring and he hoped they could close that chapter soon. He nodded at all Ame said and responded: You're right. Let's hope they stick to their word and will not bother us again. Charon was done with it, at the very least. He then wondered: Do you think any of our children will want pups of their own this year? And there was an underlying question that he didn't yet ask... Did she think they would find love if not for the same way their own parents had; through rationality, through leading together. Charon could not imagine stepping down for his daughter(s) -- not yet -- but what if it was the way for them to realise their own desires to further the legacy? He was looking forward to fathering more children but to have grandchildren... Even though he did not feel old enough for them, it was somehow appealing.
