Torin mostly just listened as the two boys spoke, often times chosing to turn his gaze away from them, very much aware he was more an observer than anything right now. Though as Pegasus spoke of the Abraxas family, though not in so many words, he met Pegasus' glance. He saw his nephew glance at them out of the corner of his eyes. Célestin then said what he knew he would, and Torin couldn't help but chuckle, and rose to his paws to approach the two boys. "When were you planning to tell me this?" He asked, his lips quirking slightly. He stopped beside his nephew, noticing the boy suddenly avoiding his gaze. "Not that it's surprising in the slightest." He knew the boy was set on going with Pegasus, he could sense the anxiety, the need to escape. Torin's brows quirked slightly as Célestin straightened, adopting a tone that seemed more like a pup trying to act like his idea of an adult than anything else. "Torin, I'd like to request my freedom from Lirim." Torin ran his gaze over his nephew, realizing for the first time just how much the boy had grown up. "You are free to go Célestin, if at any point you should wish to return you will always be welcome here. You will be allowed to visit your sister's grave whenever you wish so long as you do not enter the pack without express permission." He spoke calmly, knowing he didn't have it in his heart to bar the boy from ever visiting the grave of his sister. Célestin turned to look at Pegasus, clearly excited. Torin chuckled again and then sought to meet the boy's eyes again. As he spoke this time his tone was serious, his eyes softened by concern. "Pegasus you should know, there was a challenge recently for another pack east of here. The challenger was intent on taking a specific land, he called it a Shrine. I do not know if it is related to you or the family you spoke of at all but I do not wish to see unnecessary bloodshed." He warned. Especially not with Célestin involved. He didn't delude himself into thinking this revenge plan wasn't going to be dangerous or put his nephew in harm's way but that didn't stop him from wanting to protect the young man, he had too much potential.
