Valentine had been hot on his son's heels from the moment they'd heard the call. He'd dutifully answered each and every question by supplying answers to the best of his abilities. Angel was a handful - he'd been that way since day one - and while the questions were sometimes exhausting, there was something about them that the brute also found endearing. He liked his son's curiosity. He liked his honesty and his thirst for knowledge. Granted, it was a little annoying when the boy woke him up in the middle of the night to ask why an owl was hooting so late (and what an owl was, and what it looked like, and what it ate, and where it slept...), but he could appreciate it all the same.

Like his mother, Valentine had simply watched the exchange between the two children while it was just words. The moment it looked like it was going to turn physical, he stepped in, placing a massive forepaw between the two parties before they could meet and then, when Angel went airborne, nabbed the boy by the scruff and hoisted him into the air. The child didn't go quietly, choosing to flail and kick at the girl's face around Valentine's foreleg as he was lifted above her.

In a single sweeping motion, the brute then moved to set his son down beside him. He put him down hard, forcing him into a seated position, and then when the boy immediately bounced back to his paws, Valen commanded, “That's enough.”  He had half a mind to make Angelus apologize, but since the girl had started it (and he would be lying to say he didn't favor his son) he chose not to. The boy was wise, choosing to heed the command and remain where he had been placed.

Turning his gaze to his mother (while watching for movement in the corner of his eye), Valentine shrugged, the gesture suggesting a 'what can you do?' feeling about the situation. “Mom, I'd like you to meet Angelus. He's your oldest grandson.”
