Heron Lake Plateau Bad company

Anything would be better than letting the bad ideas that filled his head to continue to fester, to bloom into what couldn't be or what shouldn't be.  There were so many options, some worse than the rest, about what he should do.  He, perhaps wrongly, didn't care for the means as long as the end result was good.  It would be good to see where the betas stood on this matter, though.  Did they support this or did they now regret their decision to put Towhee as a leader? Did they regret the move?  Perhaps that information would help him prune to his true options.

Colt had been less willing to give Towhee a chance than Quixote, so perhaps this had been enough to prove him right.  Or maybe Colt wanted to speak about how to retrain the piranha-like youths.  Maybe repeating his thought that they should have moved on.  It didn't matter.  Anything he said would be a stage for Quixote to expand on if it was necessary.  He followed along.
