where'd you go

Charon was pleased that Ragnar dropped the matter of whether or not he had been angry, because he was super duper muchly sure that he hadn't been angry at all. Charon probably would've gone on to argue about it until Ragnar told him to hold his tongue, since he was a stubborn child and liked to believe his own truth.

Charon listened attentively as Ragnar explained to him that Verrine and Julooke were his parents' 'given names'. He figured it was something like how he was called Charon. He didn't really understand why it was rude to call his parents by their first names rather than Ma and Da, but he figured it was just something like a nice secondary name they had because they were really special to him. He wondered if they'd had those kind of names for him too, but didn't ask as he overthought what Ragnar had just said.

"What 'bout last names, why they for?" he asked curiously. He knew that his was Ostrega, but he wondered where they came from. Charon had forgotten all about his quest to find Liyaní for now, his attention span fleeting like a child's (and had even pretty much forgotten where he was, absorbed into the conversation with Ragnar).
