Stavanger Bay I don't know how I feel anymore

Charon only got more excited as Gunnar told him that the activity they were about to engage in, the adventure they were going to go on, was dangerous. Doing dangerous things made Charon feel cool and brave (even though he hadn't actually done anything really dangerous in his short life just yet). He was a little disappointed that they weren't going to fight bears, because it was one of his favourite activities, and it showed on his face that he was disappointed when Gunnar told him they weren't going to do that.

However, he was easily back into a state of excitement as Gunnar responded positively to his story about fighting the evil bear. Gunnar must think him very brave, Charon thought. Gunnar told a story of his own. He didn't know for sure what a gyrfalcon was, but he knew 'falcon', and he knew that birds had eggs and were very protective of them. A gyrfalcon had to be some sort of upgraded falcon, which made it even more dangerous.

Excitedly, Charon wondered if they were going to steal eggs today, too, but he didn't ask Gunnar. Instead, he excitedly said, "That's so cooooool!" If he showed how awesome it must've been, then maybe Gunnar would realise that Charon was brave enough to take egg-hunting, too. "How long's it gonna be 'til we're there?" Charon asked, unable to hide how exhilarated he was about the adventure, and his oversized ears flopped in Gunnar's direction attentively, giving the older boy his full attention.
