Blacktail Deer Plateau a bruise upon the silent moon

Dante had noticed Lasher's disappearance and his irritation was born as much from worry as the disregard of his wishes. He had asked for time to figure out a course (or I'm assuming he will), and it was time it seemed Lasher could not give for some reason. Not only had he ignored that request (order, more like), but he had chosen to go alone. An action the alpha definitely would not have allowed.

When the beta announced his return, Dante heaved a sigh of relief. Immediately he went to meet him, knowing that repercussions would have to be made but just thankful he sounded unharmed. This was confirmed when he set sights on a tired, but whole, Lasher near the borders.

He stopped, expectant air about him as he awaited an explanation. His expression made it clear that he was not pleased, although far from true anger. He was curious to hear what the beta had found.
