Sea Lion Shores 'Cause they know who is righteous, what is bold, so I'm told

Acheron didn't really know what to say at first. He liked that he was important to Tuvaq, but in a way he wasn't sure was normal. Or maybe it was just because he hadn't ever felt quite that way with anyone else. That was why he had been so angry with his friend for putting his life in danger, though, because he also didn't want to be without him. I was scared that you were hurt, the freckled boy offered quietly. But I definitely don't want to go anywhere. 

He continued his grooming, silent for a few moments until he heard Tuvaq's hesitant words. Yeah, he said, pausing to look at his friend even though his pale yellow gaze was trained firmly on the ground at his feet. What about it? he asked gently, wondering how the two situations were related.
