Heron Lake Plateau don't believe the hype

Backdated to whenever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When he finally woke, Phox's face felt hot, cold, and sticky all at the same time. He tried to put together what had happened as consciousness slowly returned to him. The large wolf, Camilla—Camilla! he croaked, rolling to his belly and trying to see if she was anywhere nearby.

How long had he been out? Their scents were fading, but he knew he could not follow them... not without leaving Towhee behind. That was a promise he could not break.

Torn between the wolf he had promised to protect and another he had promised to never leave again, he knew which one he had to return to. Dried blood clotted the left side of his face. He wouldn't know the full extent of the damage until somebody else could see him, but he knew it wouldn't be good. His entire body ached from the fight, and he would need time to rest and recover.

Step-by-step, he made his way back to the plateau, back to @Raven, who immediately went to work on him. @Quixote would be around sooner or later, Phox figured, and he already wasn't looking forward to that talk. Raven sent one of her children to fetch @Towhee at Phox's request, and soon after that, he fell right back to sleep.
