Blacktail Deer Plateau i can't stop drinking about you

Dante inwardly flinched at Fox's tone in responding to Ira, but still kept completely neutral. Not for the first time he was left to wonder whether or not her hasty rise was a good idea, but he would not question aloud unless it was one of their own he felt was being wronged by it. A rough response to a rival pack member was not completely unwarranted, for his own demeanor spoke of civility but barely.

He felt a lot of sympathy for Bones, though, who had come here seeking family and friends. This had not gone well. Thus, his look was apologetic, but he did not question Fox's words. He personally did not understand why Bones could not alone enter escorted. Could the young one really do any harm? He would have happily stayed here with Ira to allow her the chance to see Atticus. He wondered how soon Atticus would be able to see her, hoping that he was well enough to make the trip sooner than later. As was quite obvious from her violent reaction to even a familiar face, she had been through an ordeal. She needed the support of loved ones, not harsh and impersonal words exchanged on a border.

"We will deliver your message," he responded simply, his tone warm. He would do his best to get her reunited with her father, for it would likely do him a lot of good as well to see her.
