Heron Lake Plateau born in the right country

Camilla preened his fur, and Phox wasn't sure whether to smile or be mortified. He chose to remain neutral. We have to ask Quixote about having pups, he explained. I don't want put them in any danger. And if Quixote said no, Phox would have to restrain himself when Camilla came into season.

It wasn't long before Quixote came around, and Phox struggled to read the mood. He had considered starting out with some sort of, "I know we aren't on great terms" speech, but Phox decided against it. He tolerated Quixote because Towhee did, but that was about it. If the guy hadn't been with Raven, Phox probably would have felt more strongly about the whole thing, but that wasn't the case.

Uh, hey. It's not on the table right this second, but if Camilla and I have pups later this year, is that okay with you and Raven? Towhee was encouraging us, but I wanted to clear it with you, too.
