Blacktail Deer Plateau [j] inhale to the top of my lungs

Obligatory disclaimer: Sorry Perry's being a douche. His thoughts/feelings are not my own. :P

She explained herself in clear-cut terms, yet Peregrine still found himself struggling to wrap his mind around the concept. He supposed he understood on some level; it was like Lux was a tomboy, only taken to an extreme. When she stated her attraction toward other females, he blinked. Although his parents had been open-minded and liberal—and had presumably raised him to be the same—Peregrine was such a feral, natural creature that he simply couldn't make sense of it all.

"I guess I don't," he replied somewhat defensively, feeling as if Lux's questions were implying he was dense. "I don't know how I can just ignore the fact that you are clearly female. I don't understand the part where you're attracted to females but, honestly, I don't really care about that. It's the part where you expect me to just treat you like a dude when you're not a dude." Peregrine peered at Lux shrewdly, unaware that he might be offending her. He didn't do it intentionally; he was just being honest.

"I'm going to have to call my mate to see what she thinks. On all accounts, you'd be a good addition to the pack but I'm not sure I'm the best judge of... everything else. It makes me uncomfortable and perhaps it would do the same to others," the swarthy Alpha thought aloud. "I'll let Hawkeye be the judge," he repeated, almost as if thinking aloud, before pointing his dark muzzle into the air and howling for his mate.
