Stavanger Bay caterpillars

Charon did not really understand why Onyx was making such a big fuss over such a tiny creature. He didn't really think that the caterpillar deserved anything. It was just a thing in his eyes, not like him and other wolves. "Oh," he said, though it was clear from the intonation in his voice that he did not understand at all, and that his question wasn't really answered.

"Whaddumbout, um..." Charon searched for the right words, and when he found it, his face lit up as he added, "... bits 'nstuff?" He meant the hoppy critters with the long ears; he was brought dead animals sometimes, and he wondered, if this caterpillarthing deserved to not-die-or-taken-away, if the same counted for rabbits.
