Heron Lake Plateau not looking for a confession

me @ writer's block: BE GONE! figured we could wrap up here since this one is gettin' old!

Well, how was he supposed to respond to that? Phox stared blankly at Owen for a moment, then shrugged. Maybe he didn't have to respond at all. That seemed like the best strategy right now. If Raven wanted to give him the down-low, that was her prerogative, but Phox certainly didn't want to get too involved in that kind of conversation with his nephew just yet. They weren't that close.

I'll let you explain that one, Raven, Phox said, shooting a wink in her direction. Not wanting to stick around for further follow-up questions from his very nosy nephew, Phox swished his tail, nodded to both of them, and made a speedy exit.
