Silverlight Terrace Motivation is such an aggravation

Lex remained silent, and Charon could make little of his subordinate's mood or intentions. He looked at Dante, feeling strong so close to his own lands and with a pack member to back him up, though he did not thirst for revenge. It would only be petty were he to exact it here and in this manner, anyway.

"Osprey returned," Charon said, almost as though he were sharing a fact, as if Dante didn't already know anyway. He wasn't sure why he did. It wasn't like he and Dante were ever going to be on amicable grounds, anyway. "No, I don't think our pack will need any relations to a pack lead by someone like you." He said it as if 'someone like you' was a bad thing to be, almost as if he was disgusted thinking about it. He liked Osprey, and he liked Casmir, and that was the only reason he preferred neutrality over hostility between their packs; but he would never like Dante.
