Blacktail Deer Plateau You're hurt but the damage's on me

Dante met Blue Willow with an amicable touch to her cheek, glad she was around.  Any ease he gained by being around another of his pack, however, faded when Nishu spoke.  Immediately his hackles rose at the man's seeming assumption - that they could remain here unchallenged while their friend recuperated.  Maybe it wasn't an unusual request, but it hadnt been put forward as a question and that rankled the alpha quite a bit.  He looked sharply at them.

"I brought you here to take her, not to await her resting." He said, keeping his voice even despite irritation.  Blue Willow was the only one he saw welcome to challenge this opinion, for these lands did not belong to the strangers.  It was their friend's fault for stupidly choosing to shelter so close to pack lands.  Now she would pay the price for that with the inconvenience of leaving earlier than might be right.
