Célestin hadn't really thought of Lirim from the perspective of an outsider, nor had he considered what his words might mean to someone who didn't live in the pack like he did. "Oh uhm..." He stammered for a second trying to reassure Pegasus. "I don't think that's quite what they mean... I mean, Frostbite isn't related to my Uncle as far as I can tell and he's a well respected member... it's more like... " He thought for a moment, furrowing his brow and cocking his head to one side in a hyperbolic facsimile of being deep in thought. "It's more like the pack becomes the family, if that makes any sense." He chuckled slightly, unsure he was even forming coherent sentences. He certainly couldn't see Uncle Torin or Frostbite kicking anyone else for not being family.

Pegasus seemed to have picked up on his desire to push past his less than respectable adventure and he groaned as the other male questioned him on it. "Trust me it's not as exciting as it sounds." He gave a half-hearted attempt to throw Pegasus off the scent before giving a shrug and sigh and starting to speak again.

"This was back when I was just a pup. Me and my brother Bastyan decided we wanted to see what was outside the pack lands... without telling anyone where we were going." He grimaced slightly, older now he could understand at least somewhat why things had turned out as they had. "As it turns out no one else thought we were as clever as we felt. When our Uncle finally tracked us down he made us drag our butts back here and things got... well let's just say there was a decent amount of yelling and Bas and I had to spend what felt like a lifetime of time being confined to the den and babysat." He felt his face flush again, and darted his gaze away. He felt embarrassed by his own childish foolishness.

"I guess it wasn't a total wash though, turns out it's not just my own family with the whole rainbow thing going on. Blew my tiny pup mind at the time." he chuckled at that memory. Even with all that had happened after he couldn't help but hold that particular part of the whole ill advised endeavor dear.
