Redhawk Caldera Bones burning

Pan wasn't sure what to think when Finley started to laugh, not sure what she was laughing at. When Pan timidly looked over her shoulder she noticed that Perry had begun to laugh too, and only then did it finally dawn on her that this was all just a game, a joke, and that he wouldn't actually do anything right now. Not only was Pantaleimon nowhere near ready for such a thing, but she hardly imagined it would be in the rain, at the borders, with Finley present, even if ever she would accept this to happen.

When Perry placed a kiss on her hip, Pan's hindquarters tensed in reflex, and she shot him an apologetic smile as he whispered in her ear. It made Pan think: she wasn't really sure if this was something she ever wanted, but then again, how would she ever know if she liked it or not before trying? The thought was altogether frightening, but who knew if it was actually as terrifying as she thought until she tried? Pan suppressed a reflexive "sorry" after the ordeal and looked from Finley to Peregrine briefly.

Pantaleimon hoped that Perry would join her in patrol, but it seemed he was mostly looking for someone to do it for him. Too bashful to ask her lover to join, Pan offered, "I'll do it." Pan didn't mind the rain that much, since she loved the water, and if it would make Perry happy, she would gladly do it.
