Heron Lake Plateau very rare, mom jeans on her derriere

the joke went entirely missed by tegan, who wasn't aware that he'd made some sort of pun. or something. he didn't catch it, he was too focused on the actual topic at hand. not missing the resentment that towhee had in her eyes -- but mostly ignoring it because, tegan -- the yearling gave a quick nod. 

"aight, bet," he said, and then tipped back his head to howl for @Quixote, feeling even more nervous now! he didn't think he'd make it past towhee (and neither did i, to be honest), so he was not sure how he was gonna bring it up to quixote... who he'd had little to no interaction with except for extreme adoration from afar -- especially paired with colt. so, who knows! tegan wasn't gonna be sad about a no. 

he added, for good measure, and a little sheepishly. -thanks, towhee.-
