Totoka River wading through the fog

The stranger confirmed that he was awesome for swimming, and Charon's tail wagged briefly. After she introduced herself as Spectra, Charon said, "I'm Charon, from Stavanger Bay. Where are you from?" She didn't have a particular smell about her, not that he could distinguish, but it didn't really occur to Charon that she might be a lone wolf at all. In his mind, everybody had a place to live, since he had only ever met wolves that were a part of a pack.

Spectra then went on to suggest he had found the water scary. Gasping, Charon quickly exclaimed, "I never said that! I didn't think it was scary, I just didn't know how to swim." Well, he did think it was pretty scary since he'd been told that he shouldn't just run into the ocean because the current could take him away and he could drown... but he wasn't about to admit that to anyone. Muttering, he added, " 'm not scared of anything."
