Redhawk Caldera damaged

A shiver ran down Pantaleimon's spine and his heart thudded in his chest as Peregrine nipped at his hindquarters and tugged his tail. A part of Pan wanted to turn around and return the favour, but he found himself rooted in place instead, awaiting what was next...

When Perry mentioned talking to Fox, Pan felt a little terrified at first, but he also understood the necessity, in a way. Pan found himself wondering if Fox would understand his gender identity issues at all. She seemed like a very confident female, and Pantaleimon didn't doubt that she had ever had any similar issues. Then again... Neither had Peregine, obviously, and he seemed very understanding. There was a nauseous knot in Pan's stomach as he considered what Fox' opinion might mean for their relationship, but he nodded in understanding anyway.

"I - I understand," Pan murmured. He didn't really want Fox to know, but then again, who was Pan to object to this? "It's, uhm... It's okay." Pan smiled bashfully at Peregrine, clearly not that confident and happy with the idea of him telling Fox, but he accepted it anyway.

Pantaleimon reached out to gingerly nibble the base of Perry's ear and whispered, "I love you." Maybe because Pan feared that it would be the last time he'd be able to say it, if Perry's conversation with Fox would turn south; or maybe because he'd intended to say it weeks ago but Pan had mucked it up this time. With newfound courage, now seemed like the opportune timing.
