We both know we can't go without it

Pantaleimon had not seen the mouse, though she had noticed Nightjar's reaction to it. For a moment she considered asking what startled him, but then saw he was calm again and decided to continue the conversation instead.

Nightjar asked about sirens, and Pan hesitated a moment before she explained, considering what she would say - and not say. "A siren, uhm... It's something only girls can be, in the pack where I came from." Pantaleimon looked as sad as saying that made her feel, even though she hadn't intended to. While she had other things now, here, Pan remembered being a Siren, if only for a little while, until she found out what she really was.

When Nightjar explained that his sisters didn't spend time with him, Pan offered: "If you want to spend time with them, maybe you should spend time with them instead. I'm sure they'll see how much fun they could have with you then." She wasn't sure if it would help any, but in Pan's experience, other wolves often strayed away and drifted apart because they both thought the other did not like them, when reality was often much different than what they thought.
