Even though Pan had yet to realize that Somnus was the king of Delumine, he knew that the golden Pegasus had a way about him. He had a way of speaking that made everyone feel welcome, and Pan was certainly no exception. As he rejects the pirate coin and offers to keep it here in Pan’s collection, the boy’s respect for him only grows. For whether Somnus had intended to or not, he made Pan feel important simply by validating his boyish ways. His indulgence in Pan’s desire to explore and learn about Novus was more than enough to buy the boy’s loyalty.
In more ways than not, Pan was still a member of the Dawn Court. Perhaps this is why he had never truly left it, hiding away his treasures and finding his way back without even trying. And now, it was here the boy would stay. He offers Somnus a soft smile, nodding at the thought that he should find a dolphin, making a mental note to do so at first opportunity. More curious still is Somnus’ mention of a son. Pan was, of course, eager to meet more children in this place.
Moving back toward the mouth of the cave, he turns to see if Somnus was following, though not truly minding if the Pegasus wanted to stay a bit longer and poke around.
@Somnus – feel free to start a new thread any time! Pan's always game for posts
