He truly didn't know what to expect when Pan opened his mouth. Peregrine just remained silent, ready to listen and keeping an open mind. The words that eventually tumbled from his lover's lips caused him to pause mentally, then smile softly. Pan wanted to be a parent one day? Well, that didn't surprise him at all. However, there were quite a few logistics involved if Pan were to pursue that desire. It took two to tango, after all, and Peregrine would not permit Pan to mate with Fox, no matter how much he cared for his companion.

Then there was the issue of permission too. And Fox's passionate opposition to (intolerance of, really) bastards. Suddenly, the smile began to falter, then fade altogether. Pan would need to take a mate and earn the privilege to breed. What would that mean for their relationship? It could get very complicated. Even as he considered this, Peregrine realized he was jumping the gun and over-thinking it. Not to mention, he was being very selfish in his train of thought.

"So you wanna be a dad someday, huh?" he mused aloud, smiling again. "You kind of are, a little bit. Well, I guess you're more like an uncle. But I mean, you're doing really well helping with the Firebirds. You're so gentle, and a good teacher."
