Blacktail Deer Plateau make the dead come back to witness

Junior made her case, in all honesty far more reasonably than he had expected. Her points were valid and not uncommon. While he could not attest to how stretched Blue had been trying to care for two patients, it was not unreasonable for Junior to expect more attention than a now-outsider. Some might see it a selfish view, as it likely was, but it was also her right.

What was not her right was to disregard both he and Blue Willow's word and taking matters into her own paws. And it was this that needed to be addressed. Her words were some that he had guessed at, but to hear it from her straight out... At least now he was certain he had made the right decision, even if it may have cost him Peregrine's friendship for good.

Much as he understood she wasn't in a good place, she needed to know why it was what she had done was wrong. It could not happen again, for the repercussions of this may spell hardship for the Plateau. "If you had these concerns, you should have come to Willow or I. By doing our 'dirty work' you have ensured that my and Willow's word means nothing. We could have sent her on her way with a proper escort. But to kick an injured wolf who was under our charge and who we were honorbound to care for out with no one? With all your travels you know as well as any how dangerous it is out there. Aside from morals, did you stop to think what may happen if she is injured along the way? Or, gods forbid, she didn't make it back? Peregrine would be at our door in an instant, and not in a friendly way." He sighed. He'd already done more than enough to ignite that spark. He hated to think what would happen if they fanned the flames further.

"You are right, as a pack we are not their sister nor their friend in any official capacity. But there are individuals among us who may not want to burn that bridge. And to perform such actions as you just did harms them just as much as Peregrine's presence here may harm you." He regarded her seriously, willing her to see the sense in his words. This last bit was more gently spoken. She was young still, driven by emotion and her own beliefs. She would make mistakes such as this one, and perhaps come to learn from them.
