Great Bear Wilderness chew it over

"Oh," Pantaleimon awkwardly said when Luke said he didn't actually really know what had happened at all. If he was a close friend of Peregrine's, then surely he would know, wouldn't he? Pan considered telling him, but then she thought of Fox' face in her head, and she didn't want to upset her Queen. Perry had told her that no one should know, because they might misinterpret things. Luke didn't seem like the kind of foul-hearted spirit who would misinterpret things, but in case he would, Pan didn't want to be the one to have spilled the beans and brought the Caldera in trouble.

"No, I... I think he needs some time. Does he - does he know where you are? Do you want me to, uh, tell him.. something?" Pantaleimon was growing more awkward by the moment, not really sure how to deal with the situation. She felt incredibly uneasy holding back the information of Junior's demise or the attack on Wildfire from Luke, but she knew she couldn't tell him.
