Grouse Thicket Obsess less beetle buds

He did remember how Towhee had seemed to take offense at the suggestion that maybe Finley and Elwood weren't totally in to it any more, but Quixote pretty much agreed with Colt.  Yeah, I think they just wanna raise their kids, but hell, didn't sound like Finley stepped down in a classy way.  Maybe should have expected that, but I don't think Raven did, as the player makes a few more assumptions about thread directions.  Maybe the whole thing was doomed to fall apart anyway, but hell.  Little late to go back and suggest things are a bad idea, but we'll all deal with what we're given, I guess.  He would, anyway.  Stuff would sometimes go wrong, it was a fact of life.  Quixote was sure he'd mess up too, it was just a matter of how and when.

Quixote's response was rather wry, Probably hoping you didn't wait 'til stuff was screwed up to hell to mention it.  I don't expect to be great, and I know leadership can pretty easy corrupt, but I'm gonna do what I can.  And if I start screwing up, I'd want you to tell me so I can try to fix stuff.  It's not like I trained for any of this.  He was just some dude who got all this crud shoved his way.  He'd never put "be a leader" on his list of things to do, unlike a lot of wolves out there.  Quixote couldn't predict the future, but he'd like to think that he'd always be open to reason, always willing to listen to a friend.
