Holy hell, was Dante's only real thought as Peregrine greeted him by his new rank. He honestly didn't know what to say. All he'd done was recount a tale from his past and now he was only one step below Peregrine's own brother. "Are you sure? Well, of course your sure. You wouldn't have said it otherwise. It's just..." He hesitated, then stopped completely on that train. "Thank you. I'll try my best to live up to the rank." He was a bit flabbergasted by the speed but he didn't want to question Peregrine or Blue Willow's judgement. If they thought he was worthy of it, then he supposed they must see something that he himself did not yet.
He did have to grin at the serial killer quip. "Probably a good call. I'd hate to have to quit my leisurely killing sprees in favor of the big time. A guy's gotta have hobbies." He chuckled, then sobered. "In all seriousness though, thanks man. It's a huge honor."
He barely held back a laugh at the undignified display Peregrine pulled next. "Isn't that a perk of being Alpha though? People get on your level," Dante said jokingly, though he did lower himself to lay sphinx-like in front of Peregrine. "And maybe damaged, but I'm sure Blue will get you patched up in no time. She seems awfully good at what she does. Even someone like you couldn't screw up her healing." He added that last part, poking a bit of fun. He really enjoyed Peregrine's sense of humor, it let him let loose his own a bit as well. "Really though, I've been kind of curious. Tell me to keep my nose to myself if you like, but how'd it happen? Must've been pretty quick after we first met."
