Blacktail Deer Plateau samson, come back to bed

Lasher's loyalty it them came as a surprise to Dante, though a happy one. Lasher was his closest friend in the pack, though Blue was close as well, but he wouldn't have thought he compared with Peregrine in his friend's loyalties. Fox's presence likely tipped the balance. While he hated the pain the chocolate hessian was feeling, Peregrines loss was definitely the Plateau's gain.

Dante was still seething over the way things had been handled and he knew it showed as Willow spoke. He was glad he did, for she was much kinder than he would be in the telling and he did not wish to speak ill of Peregrine with Lasher so obviously distraught. Thus, he kept his mouth shut.
