Redhawk Caldera Where you wanna go

Pantaleimon looked startled for a moment when Wildfire said 'when', even though he should not have been. He'd heard a sense of longing and finality in her voice before, already sort of knew she would be going, and yet Pan felt a pang of sadness and shock when Wildfire actually admitted she would very likely go.

A sad smile fell across Pan's face when Wildfire said he might be busy with the new pups, and he wondered of his own future again. "I'd never forget you," he answered. Even though it sounded like a joke, there was always a source of truth in these things and he wanted to be sure Wildfire knew that he would never forget her, regardless of new pups.

"It's not weird," said Pantaleimon, though he felt like he said it weirdly — maybe because he felt like he would miss them too, if he wouldn't be there for them. His if was definitely a very big 'if' though, not like Wildfire's 'when'. Pan felt guilty at the thought alone of abandoning them. "I understand." Pan looked at Wildfire with a sad smile. For a moment he had considered asking for her advice on his own situation, but in time he realised that not only was it not fair to burden her with his worries, but also that it would probably be weird for her to talk about it because Perry was her father.
