Moonspear p1 cleaner than your church shoes

A growl rumbled in Charon's throat as Arcturus told him not to apologise to him. Tail curled over Charon's back in dominance as he stared his son down. This is what you got when you were vulnerable to anyone -- they just spat in your face and treated you like dirt. Even when you were their own father, apparently. The warning growl was supplied with words: Do not tell me what to do, I am still your father and Alpha. (As Tywin would say, 'any man who must say 'i am the king', etc...) He was beginning to regret confiding in Arcturus. Honestly, Charon's entire world was spinning right now.

But for now his lowered walls were brought up again and it was very clear in every way -- both in the colder way he spoke as his façade hardening -- that the time for being honest and vulnerable (as was likely the first time Arcturus had ever even seen Charon that way anyway, so this was more Charon's 'normal' state of being again) was gone again.
