Redhawk Caldera riddles

Pantaleimon grinned awkwardly when Fox talked about how awful her pregnancy had been. Pan knew that she'd never be the one to carry pups if ever she had a relationship with another wolf. She sighed wistfully while Fox explained, although not that noticeably. Pan wondered if she could ever be with another female. She'd never given it much thought, but then, there was that one time at Sirensong Cove, when she had been picked for the mating rituals and she just hadn't been able to. Beside the fact that she just didn't like to be on that side of things, she wasn't sure she ever would be able to if she needed to. It just seemed so weird and unnatural somehow.

Fox went on to explain they probably wouldn't allow another couple to have pups. Pan was quick to say, "Oh, I don't think I'd... this year, uhm... I mean, I don't even have a m-mate." Pantaleimon grinned sheepishly; she didn't have a mate, and she didn't think she'd get one any time soon. Pan wanted pups some day... but now was not that day yet, and she was very aware of it.
