Dante's tail waved as Gunnar confirmed, and he made to ensure the boy knew his presence here was more than alright. "Well met, Gunnar. Your pack and family have done much for our own. For that I thank you, and one day soon hope to tell your father and mother the same." He looked back when Osprey approached, smile not breaking, though he stepped back a bit to allow her to come forward.

Before he allowed them to catch up, he adressed Gunnar once more. "You have traveled far. We have food enough, you are welcome to partake of some before heading back. It is the least we can do." True winter was in force and they needed to look after their own, but he would not send this boy off without doing all he could when his family had so recently done the same for Osprey.
