"Of course," he replied. He would never pressure the girl into staying. She had a family and a different life. A life where it didn't mean founding; easier. "I just don't have a clue where she's supposed to live. I'll keep looking though." His gaze trailed off to the side. Perhaps it was nerves that made him look around so much -- nervous of what though?
But something small irked him in Wintersbane's words. As timid as Keen was, she wasn't a cub by no means, yet he wouldn't let his opposition show when he spoke: "She can handle herself just fine, I assure you." Even if it weren't true, he'd ensure it to become true. Even if it meant teaching the girl what he knew. It would be valuable for anyone to know how to fight, after all.
He saw reason in the man's words, nodding slowly, "Increase numbers, then think about expanding further." His nose wrinkled for a moment, ears tilting.
"At least we don't have to deal with those cubs. Not unless she'd kicked out and comes running back to you." His gaze watched the Tundrian, a soft gleam of amusement there. He wasn't about to press more into it, he'd gotten more than enough answer.
"Of course you can visit one day, if they look something like you then you can claim it or leave it. You're not the mother." Derg, so offhand in his ways and talking.
If his life, it was always the mother's problem. She had to carry and birth them, to him it wasn't anything for his behalf. He just provided the jump leads.
The man shook his head slowly, shrugging. He wasn't exactly a master when it came to feelings yet had a somehow uncanny way of making the fixed. Or something, he'd been the glue for a lot of people. He just didn't know it.
