Dante shook his head. "I need no apology, and a part of me is glad as well. I only hope it doesn't make things worse." Little did he know they would never get the chance to find out, for Junior would disappear before Blue could apologize. He was indeed glad that Peregrine perhaps knew what his choices had wrought. He couldn't have known that the results would be so severe, but when he came and did not seek to even acknowledge his children or say goodbye, he had to expect some fallout.

"I am well enough. It seems that worries advance with the season, but I am sure that all will work out fine." He knew also that many of his worries were slightly far fetched, but Dante tended to look at all ways things could go wrong. Better to be prepared than naive. He supposed that made him a bit of a pessimist.
