"Bad news first," Blue Willow began and Peregrine braced himself. It turned out it was only Amelie, a thought which made him feel guilty. He hadn't been close to the girl, though he knew Blue Willow had treated her as a daughter. "I'm sorry to hear that," he said, reaching out just long enough to touch his nose to her damp cheek. While he was there, he lapped her tears dry.
Sitting up straight again, he listened as she regaled him with news of her family and a few of their mutual loved ones. When she mentioned Saena, his chest swelled a little. The news about Pura was a bit unsettling, though not unexpected. There had always been something slightly amiss with his son, a fact which Peregrine acknowledged even though it had no effect on his adoration of the freckled giant.
"They are," he confirmed with a soft smile. He paused for a long second, then said, "There are three, though only two have names right now: Nightjar and Wildfire. He looks like a mix of Fox and me. Wildfire takes after her mother, though her tail's black. Our other little girl looks just like me," he reported with a proud gleam in his eye. "Derp's" death was still fresh and he didn't want to talk about it just yet, even with his best friend. He didn't want to make her cry more either. "Their eyes just started opening."
He gave Blue Willow a moment to absorb that, then said, "I've actually seen Saena and Pura recently. The former actually talked with me a while, surprisingly enough. I think she still hates my ass but I was so happy to catch up with her. I'm sure she'd be annoyed if she knew but I'm really fucking proud of her." Saena had come into the world a premature half-orphan and had been bullied a lot in her early days. She had come so far and though he couldn't take any credit for it, it didn't stop him from being her proud papa.
