You get my 800th post. :-)

Ragnar hadn't meant to scared the young Ostrega child, and his ears cupped forth to catch the sound of the boy mumbling his own name in a mimicry. “Yes, Charon,” Ragnar offered the child a soft smile. “Very good.” Ragnar praised him. He did not get overly excited about the fact that Charon could mimic words if only because Ragnar didn't wish to awaken any of the other sleeping bodies in the den. He stretched as much as the confinement of the den would allow him too, his back paw making contact with Mercury's nose. The ebony cloaked teen let out a soft sneeze and curled into a tight ball, tucking his nose under a too large paw causing Ragnar to laugh softly, before the Viking's attention went back to Charon, fixing the small child in his stare of carribean ice. Ragnar shifted, pressing his back against the wall that Nerian had once occupied, feeling the harsh resistance of rock and cold earth against his spine as he studied Charon giving a soft snort when Charon responded with an apathetic “no”.

“No” seemed to be the first word that most young children spoke, likely because it was a pretty easy word to mimic. Given this, Ragnar took the liberty of assuming that Charon, perhaps, did not truly grasp the gravity of the word he'd just thrown out to the sleepy silence of the den. The Jarl hardly took it personal. Neither would he have, even if Charon did understand the heavy ramifications of the word “no”. He and his siblings had been through a grave ordeal and now found themselves in the company and care of, otherwise, strangers. The Ostrega children were also children of the Bay and though they did not understand it yet, the wolves of the Bay were their family also. Charon, Liyani, and Levi were not his children but Ragnar would not treat them any different then he had Mercury, Gunnar and Gyda. Blood didn't matter, and the Ostrega children were young enough to need Thistle and him. “No?” Ragnar asked the boy softly, the word rumbling softly in the deep confines of the scarred Scandinavian's chest before he fell silent, waiting for the boy's own reaction.
