Blacktail Deer Plateau Born for leaving

Dante accepted him at his word, seeing the determination with which he said it. His next words were a surprise, but Dante had not met Kesuk before her departure. It saddened him she had not come to inform him but it was her choice to make. Now that he thought on it however it made sense why he had not encountered her. He had made a point to try and get around more.

"She did not, but thank you for informing me." He had no knowledge of she and Koda's relationship as friends or he might have known to ask if he was alright. As a counselor he would be kicking himself later if he found out, for part of the job was knowing where his pack ages stood with one another. They had been recent arrivals, though, and so much had happened... A few things had slipped by, and this was one such thing.

He did know, though, that the fact he was telling meant they had known one another. Koda was another he had not met before Perry's departure, so he had the sudden desire to know what had held him here. "But you stayed?" He had no way of knowing just how deep that question went.
