Hoid tries to tell Tress and [[Ulaam]] that "Huck" is important, but Tress comes to the wrong conclusion after Ulaam tells her about familiars, figuring that "Huck" is a normal rat that was Invested by the Sorceress.{{book ref|tress|28}} Charlie denies this, but after more questioning from Tress, he's able to exploit a loophole in his curse to explain to her how the Sorceress's curses work.{{book ref|tress|29}}
When Tress uses the [[Luhel bond]] to transfer her consciousness to [[Midnight Essence]], she quickly becomes dehydrated and Charlie saves her life by pulling her waterskin towards her with his teeth.{{book ref|tress|31}}
=== Sailing the Crimson ===
To deter Tress from continuing towards the [[Sorceress's island]], Charlie tells her about the trials she'll have to face when she gets there, saying that he knows about them from the "rat population" of a port the ''Crow's Song'' stopped at, but it doesn't work and the ''Crow's Song'' continues onwards.{{book ref|tress|47}}
After Tress becomes the captain of the ''Crow's Song'', she introduces Charlie to [[Fort]], [[Ann]], and [[Salay]]. All of them adore him; Ann offers to make a cage for the cat, and Salay has a tiny pirate's hat made for him. Charlie also tells them that he knows a way into the [[Sorceress's tower]].{{book ref|tress|54}} Unfortunately, their opinion of him is almost immediately soured, since he has Hoid throw some of the ship's food stores overboard in a desperate attempt to get Tress to stop pursuing the Sorceress. This doesn't work either, since the crew can just eat verdant vines; Tress decides she can't trust Charlie anymore, locking him in a cage.{{book ref|tress|56}}
Charlie begs Tress to take him with her when she goes to meet the Sorceress. She reluctantly agrees, and the two take a small rowboat into the Midnight Sea.
