Shattered windows and the sound of drums - People couldn't believe what I'd become

Unlike Osprey, Dante came from a home where breeding rights were free to any who desired, and even mateship could be a transitory thing. Many children didn't make it through their first months, and even more perished in the training of adolescence. It was not like here, where limited resources said only few could breed. There it was understood that the strong would live and the weak perish.
Despite this, Dante was far more upset by the revelation than he had let on, and most of this was focused on the part he was having a hard time with... That Osprey would take such a step with a stranger. In his homeland, it was this that would be the crime, and it was a crime she would have died for. Koda could not have been the father, nor could Mordecai. He doubted Lasher, and that left only he and Finn of the plateau wolves. In all cases, he knew they would have told him.
Besides, her own silence on the matter spoke volumes.
It was too much too soon, and he was having issues lifting his stomach from where it rested somewhere around his paws. First Lasher's revelation, and now this. He knew his words were cavalier for the severity of what was happening, but he couldn't imagine her leaving. The thought sickened him. And if that meant overlooking this in an official capacity, so be it.
Personally, though, he couldn't. How he could be so upset with her, and yet so against the idea of her going, was confusing as hell. His words had caused her to flinch, though, and rather than responding she turned to go.
"Shit," he cursed, softly. He wasn't about to let her disappear on that note. Because though he had lost some of the esteem he held her to, it took more than a single mistake of this sort to make him not count her a friend. She'd been too much a good part of his life here since joining for that. "Osprey." He followed, though skowly, hesitwntly.
"Just.... please. Don't do anything yet. I just... Please?" He didnt want her disappearing into the night like so many others had, and he felt she was close to it. His tone was gentler on this, though he could feel the shift within and knew he wouldn't be the same around her, not for a long while. He'd allowed himself to believe them kindred souls, but now knew that to be far from the truth.
