He turned briefly toward Jaelle as she cleared her throat, trying to get his attention for a moment. She looked extremely uncomfortable, and he wondered if she was here to gang up on him with Soleil. So far, he had didn't know what this was going to be about. Well, in all honesty, he did, but who was going to say what? As she informed him that she was going to translate, he felt relieved and grateful, but at the same time more uncomfortable. It would be a great relief to truly hear Soleil's words, and to be able to communicate clearly with her, but that meant everything that either of them said would go through the bell-clad gypsy. How was she going to feel about it all? Blinking slowly, he nodded his head to the mottle gray woman - he would have to repay her generously in some way for this. "Thank you, Jaelle," he murmured, taking a deep breath as he turned back to Soleil, her voice now cutting through the air in a serious tone - he didn't know what she'd said yet, but it was already obvious that she was taking no crap. His ears flattened, and then he turned to Jae as she began to interpret.

He hadn't expected to feel so caught off-guard, even though he'd known Soleil was upset, and had had a general idea what was bothering her. And yet, hearing it out loud made it all the more real. How was he to respond? Well, he had no intention of lying, but the honest truth was still going to be difficult. "That woman, named Limno, is pregnant.... by me," he said, trying to steel himself to the reality of the mess he'd created, though his tone remained soft as he spoke to her, "I wish I'd had a way to speak to you more clearly before now. Because there are things about me that you have the right to know... I can't love just one woman. It doesn't mean I care any less for you, but I can already see that this hurts you." He glanced at Jaelle for a moment, with a look that spoke of more than just awaiting her next translation. He had never said the words "I love you" to anyone, and he wasn't sure he ever would, but for the women he'd become fond of there was a heart-felt longing for their company, and a fierce protectiveness over them. Even for Limno... though he had no history with her, she was going to be the mother of his children, and he needed to care for her respectfully, even if she would never claim his heart.

He looked back to Soleil, silver eyes resting with her enchanting turquoise gems, although her glare was deadly and cold in comparison to its usually glimmer. It seemed she was not like him - he could share, his heart could open up to many fine relationships, but she wanted him all to herself. At one time, he had thought himself the same, as it seemed the majority of wolves based their relationships this way. A pair, just a couple of wolves, bound to each other forever. He could not. There was too much beauty to behold, to choose just one and ignore the rest. Now, they would wait to hear Jaelle's voice ring out to translate for the other woman. He thought it was a rather brave role she played, in this very tense, emotionally charged atmosphere.
