Heron Lake Plateau Bad company

It wasn't just Colt who had a few questions skipped.  Was it because he agreed that strangers weren't to be trusted?  Elwood seemed to focus on the wrong things overall from his perspective about the things he did say too.  Quixote was very unconvinced.  Was Elwood just too close to her?  Couldn't see the problems, unwilling to fix them?  Was he even actually coaching her or was that just an excuse to try to erase blame entirely?  How long were they supposed to wait?  For her to screw up something that couldn't be fixed?

Quixote didn't have a problem with either Elwood or Finley.  Or thought that was the case.  But maybe he actually did.  Leaders were always a disappointment, so maybe this was just the wool being pulled out of his eyes.  The reason he hadn't irritated the anarchist was because he didn't really do his job to begin with.  Maybe too many kids around to distract him?  Ugh.

What else could he do?  Apparently, Quixote had nothing else to say if the only answer was going to be dismissal and was keen to just let Colt speak.  You could claim the rant had taken it out of him, but from the slow drop of his head and tilt of his ears it was more likely he was just resigning to being frustrated and sulky.  Nothing was gonna change.
