the things you can't have

yup! :) thanks for the thread, i'll go ahead and archive this. ^^

Charon listened patiently as FitzDutiful explained various things about Silvertip Mountain's flora. It was hard to keep focussed sometimes, and a time or two Charon drifted off, staring and philosophising about how the plant had been created and why it was shaped the way it was. Then he would be reminded that FitzDutiful had already begun explaining about a new plant or other nature phenomenon and he'd quickly shift his attention back to his teacher, bobbing his head enthusiastically while he listened.

When FitzDutiful mentioned they should get Charon back off the mountain, he nodded. He'd grown tired, though had been afraid to admit so because he didn't want to look like a baby that needed a nap.

When they passed the caves FitzDutiful mentioned (which were, of course, safe; otherwise they wouldn't pass through them), Charon did notice the tree roots on their ceilings. "I see them!" Charon excitedly blurted out while he looked at the roots, studying them to make sure he would remember later on.

They eventually reached the borders, and it was time to say goodbye to FitzDutiful and his super cool mountain. The Alpha asked if he could visit, and Charon was excited to say, "Of course!" He wasn't sure if Ragnar and Thistle would think it okay for him to bring in a visitor, but then again, FitzDutiful was an Alpha and Osprey had also visited that one time, even if it had been because she was hurt. Surely, it would be okay.

"Thanks for the tour, see ya later!" Charon called after FitzDutiful with excitement thrumming in his voice, and he started his way home to Stavanger Bay, ready to share the exciting stories about what he had learned from a real Alpha.
