"if this other truly loves you, they will not press you into something you do not wish. and if you do not lead them to believe that pups are the goal of your union, then you will find common footing. however, love is a strong emotion, and ultimately i cannot tell you what you must do then." he knew his conclusion was not ideal, but as the situation had not yet arisen, he could make no concrete judgement.
