Stavanger Bay It's coming at me like a burning flame

It surprised Charon that Thistle did not know completely what a Naturalist did. He fully expected her to say 'yes', and so he was caught off guard when she mentioned that she didn't know all about it. While he hoped that she would accept it as a complete trade, this also presented Charon with the opportunity to tell her about it, so that he could practise for when he had to explain it to others.

"Well, uhm, a Naturalist reads stars," said Charon, even though he still didn't fully understand how one 'read' stars, "So I'm gonna do that 'cause I love looking at the stars so it's gotta be cool to read 'em too! And Naturalists, they uhm, look at the weather and talk about the weather and they have dreams and study plants 'n huuuge trees 'n naturesy stuff." He looked at Thistle, searching for approval as he told her about being a Naturalist.
