[they don't stumble direct into more mobs, fortunately: Charon doesn't seem to have as good of a handle on his own name's smell, no, but with a helping nudge or two from them he keeps gamely on the track, and they chase it down, even as they're being chased.

in the last clearing, the light's hovering at eye level. it's in the shape of a star, and there is another name in gold, that's...scrawled over it? conjoined to it? the colour seeping into its light. Minuet and Lethe can't read the characters of that secondary true name, but they can take a Pretty Good Guess as to who it belongs to.

they're in a hurry, though, and Charon has never been one to hesitate about his feelings when there are bigger problems pressing in. he just looks up at them for a moment, ears forward and tail high, before he walks up to it.]
