Seems someone had been witness to his little ritual. Slightly red under his fur, Dante laughed. "I hate to bother you but I'd be obliged if you would. The little bugger is a bit out of my reach, as you probably saw." He eyed the burr as though it had personally affronted him. "Tricky blighter."
Then he looked at the fem who had so kindly offered help. "You are Blue Willow, correct? I don't believe we have had the pleasure of officially meeting." He had seen her around but there were many in the pack whom he had never spoken to. It seemed like everyone had other things to be doing, especially she, considering she was not only Alpha but also healer. With Peregrine's injury he imagined she was kept pretty well tied up most of the time. "What brings you out on this beautiful day?"
