Elwood thought that six months was a reasonable amount of time to wait before allowing other members of the pack to breed. It didn't seem to be anyone's top priority, despite the love that seemed to be in the air, so he didn't anticipate any conflicts. Had he been ready to have children himself, he might have felt differently, but for now he considered the "rule" to be fair.

"Well, don't hold your breath for me and Fin anytime soon," he quipped with a grin, misunderstanding the other implication of Peregrine's words -- that he and Finley could take mates separate from each other and potentially be granted breeding rights. "But I think that's totally reasonable -- this pack belongs to you and Fox, and you came here specifically to raise your own children," he said. He backed his Alphas on this topic, though he could understand why Peregrine was putting so much thought into it.

"How's Fox feeling, by the way?" he asked, considering this a natural segue due to the Alpha female's pregnancy. "And you, for that matter," Elwood added, remembering that Peregrine, too, had been a little under the weather during Somnia's activity.
