Moonspear look what you've done

What is it, she asked, a heavy question. A lot was on his mind, as was on everyone's... The upcoming grandchildren that he had not said his blessings about, Speedy's likely upcoming children, the fact it felt that everyone in his family turned against him except one of his sons... Charon wasn't even sure where to start. Hydra thought it had started with Speedy, but it was before that. It was when she came into heat, and Amekaze did not, that things had started to slip, whether she had seen or not. Speedy was just another symptom, except they were all too blind to see it.

He frowned when she said that she'd never meant to disrespect him. What could he say? Charon looked at Hydra, suddenly feeling weary about this whole battle. He didn't want them to fight. He didn't want any of this. We should be a family, like we have always been. I am so proud of what you have become, Hydra, but... I'm also scared of what you are becoming. You may no longer need me soon. He hoped she understood this in some way, understood his fear of his little girl not only leading her own life, but taking his away from him in the process. I won't see our mountain fall because of squabbles. But somehow it feels like it will be different, that we cannot speak like we do now, when the others are here too. That we will stand again like that day, and that I will be the one falling then. Charon glanced seemingly offhandedly (but not really) to the side, to the valleys below and the steep cliffs of his home. It should have been her, Hydra -- and it should've been mine. His frown deepened and emotion shimmered in his eyes as he looked at Hydra's stomach. I will tell you that I'm happy about your children even if I'm struck that you did not wait to ask for my blessing... and then I want to tell you a story. He inhaled and exhaled deeply, somewhat of a sigh. He wasn't sure she'd understand, but if not today, then maybe some day she may look back upon this conversation and regret what she might do in the future, understand what he meant at last.
