He would frown softly as Novella began to speak his own glance shifting to Frith as his daughter's did. Already he was starting to grow a little concerned now and the big news hadn't even been close to being revealed just yet. There was a pause, long enough that he almost prompted her to continue though finally Novella found her voice once more and Dutiron almost found himself wishing for silence again. They had suspected this upon finding the boy in her den that morning the mates though a part of him still wished they would have taken more time in such a decision, they hadn't known each other long after all.
His own relationship had progressed swiftly of course though this before him now was one of his youngest daughters, at least at the moment and it seemed wrong in some ways to think of her growing up. After another short pause however the real news would be revealed, the big problem. His expression would remain unreadable for now, mind barely able to believe that the words could be true. Grandchildren were wonderful of course but like this, was this why they had chosen to become mates so swiftly? Inside the protective father in him was certainly rising up, though Frith was right, the man wasn't one to attack without real reason and he would remain stationary for now, only his head turning to look for Novel's reaction to the news.
