Sea Lion Shores Saw you there and I thought

Charon printed in his mind that the stars formed stories and that those stories could be read. It was a bit of a disappointment that Saena did not know about the stories and could not tell him anything about them specifically, but he told himself that he would do his very best to learn them. Maybe some day he would meet someone who could teach him more, or maybe he would just learn on his own some day.

When Saena said that she could predict the weather, Charon's eyes widened in amazement. He'd never heard of such a rare trait and it sounded thoroughly awesome. "Really?? That's sooo cool!" he squeaked, his voice catching in his throat as he tried to hide his excitement. "Can you teach me to predict weather, too?" he asked, his voice hopeful as he looked at Saena in amazement. He had completely forgotten any fears he had previously had about the seals, and didn't notice Saena's attention for them because he was so enveloped in her stories.

"Did the dream tell you something you need to do here, or just to go here?" asked Charon. It wasn't often that he was interested in what anyone else did or said, but Saena was an above averagely interesting individual.

The thought that someone would dream about something before ever seeing it themselves was very exciting to Charon. He wished he had ever had such dreams, but sadly, he never did. When Saena asked him if he did, he almost felt a little boring (something that Charon normally never did, because even if nothing interesting happened to him, he always knew how to come up with a story that sounded like he lead a very interesting life). It took him a moment to come up with a reply, but eventually Charon said, "This one time I dreamt about the stars, and then I woke up and when I left the den and looked at the stars it was almost like they were trying to tell me their stories or something." It was only half-true, because he hadn't really had that dream, but he had waken up one day in the middle of the night and just felt drawn in by the stars. "I think that my ma is with the stars, too. They must be good friends." They had to be, if they would take in his mother after she had died, to give her a new home.

Charon hesitantly added after a moment of pause, "Maybe I still need to learn how to do it." It wasn't often that Charon would admit to having flaws, but in this case he thought that maybe if he admitted to not having had these dreams often, that maybe Saena would teach him more about the dreams.
