He was still shocked into silence, and could not think of anything to say. What could he say? He never imagined her having puppies--well, perhaps that was not the whole truth. He was able to picture her with children, but imagining her being pregnant seemed to be a whole other story despite their relevance. Maybe it was believable if it was a different situation; had he just came over for a friendly visit and ended up instead hearing this? If it had been expected, he may have reacted differently. But, he wasn't expecting it and now faced with the news left him unsure how to act.
Even when Eclipse moved from her spot, he continued to stare where she had once sat, unable to think, really. It was not until she started to speak did something click within him and brought his mind back to the real world. He watched her as she paced the room, and opened his mouth occassionally as if to add something, but it closed before anything could be said. When she mentioned that she knew how they came to be... well. He had not been thinking about it, but now that it was brought to mind he went into another silent spurt and stared at the floor as if it could get rid of the embarrasment he felt. He knew about reproduction, and knew that it was how pups and other creatures were made, but...
He quickly shook his head roughly, and finally stammered, "I-its okay! It happens, i-it just does!" He looked away from the floor and noticed how angery she was, and stood up from his seat. He approached her, though kept a short distance from her with arms slightly raised from his side, in case she got a little too mad and had to punch at the nearest thing, which was him, but he hoped that she wouldn't. "Eclipse, calm down, please," Robert said in a pledding tone. "Its alright, don't get mad! Its okay, please don't get angry." He realized he was being a little repeative with his words, but it was all he could muster and think of, just trying to convey that he wanted her to settle down.
