"What were you before that was so much better?" Party can't see it as anything but a gift. His whole upbringing left him overcome with the idea of the noble wolf that his parents had never wanted him to be.

"What's so great about being like everyone else when you can have more?" All of his own defensiveness is dripping away bit by bit, left with honest questions that might sound dumb, but are entirely genuine. Even as he says them, he knows that they sound dumb. Probably only another werewolf could get it, but maybe not even then if he goes by his current company.
