Redtail Rise knock knock

Going back to the caldera was rather low on Reek's list of priorities after the disaster that ensued during his first and only visit.  Although he considered Pantaleimon to be his best friend, Reed didn't see any future visits happening anytime soon.  If Pants wanted to see him, he would have to come to the rise.  "If I make it down that way, I'll howl for you," Reek replied, hoping to diffuse the situation without straight out telling his friend that he wouldn't be coming back.  There were no hard feelings, but the caldera had made their point very clear.

"—But, you always have a place here at the Rise buddy," he continued, giving Pantaleimon an option to reach out himself.

"There's more Pants..." he continued, noting Pantaleimon's forced smile.  "I want you to stay. When me and Wyn eventually have our children, I want Uncle Pants to be there with us.   Er, as a, well— permanent fixture.  I know you're loyal to the Caldera and I don't want to pull you away from that, but I want you to consider it. Can you do that, for me?"
