He could tell Wildfire was trying to be strong but that this development hurt her. "Sorry it didn't work out, kiddo," he said, his voice softening. "You will be," Peregrine agreed simply, opting out of offering arbitrary platitudes. He did reach out to touch his nose to the side of her head, giving her temple a light kiss.
She declared it was time to leave and he tipped his head as if to ask, So soon? It probably only felt like they'd been here five minutes. He sighed but nodded, grinning at her. "'Course we will. We already do. We tell them thanks for not being as screechy as you were at that age!" he teased.
Wildfire was already turning to go, so he reached out again, resting his chin between her ears a moment. "You'll be just fine," he said to himself as much as to her as he hugged against her. "Take care. And don't be a stranger. Come back here in a month or two and we'll be able to bring them to see you." He pressed his snout against her head in a second kiss, then slowly drew back to his side of the borders to watch her leave.
