Blacktail Deer Plateau and break the heart in two

She watched cooly as he bristled at her question, her expression carefully kept stoic and cool; it wasn't a surprise that he reacted poorly to her prying, for males were foolishly territorial — apparently even over the minor information she requested. It was unlikely Aktaiê would know the informant by name, anyway, and the way he deflected her question gave away more than it concealed. She suspected that he was in contact with Junior, but without proof, she did not press the matter... it didn't concern her much one way or the other, anyway, beyond the fact that she didn't appreciate being lied to.

After a moment, she said, "Thank you, Dante," as cordially as she could manage. "I am glad to know she is safe." The other female had remained quiet, and Aktaiê glanced toward her before returning her gaze to the Plateau's newest leader. "It appears there nothing more to say, and so I'll take my leave." With that, she turned and began her retreat, though if the male wished to continue the conversation she'd as yet still be able to hear it.
