Moonspear words are weapons

Charon did not doubt that Thistle would react positively to Jorunn's return; she was soft like that, and Charon often mistook her forgiveness for weakness. Well, whatever; Jorunn was rejoining with the pack now and he was going to leave his shitty temporary family behind, and all would be fine once more.

Jorunn said he wanted to say his goodbyes to his temporary family. For a moment Charon considered asking him to stay now and to cut off all contact with the Frostfurs, but the ounce of maturity that he possessed then took over and he decided against it. Flóki asked him to return soon and Charon just nodded at Jorunn before turning away and vanishing into Moonspear's forests. He wasn't sure if Jorunn'd return, but time would tell, and until then he wouldn't tell Thistle, not wanting to cheer his mother up only to bring her down again when Jorunn didn't return.
