Northstar Vale dude never misses

On some level, Phox had expected some sort of... retaliation for his prolonged absence. Maybe it was just echoes from when he had first left (and come back to) Towhee, but Maxim's welcoming posture and tone set him at ease. Any unease he had faded into the background. He tried to guess what knowledge Maxim might want from him, and it was then that he remembered how much younger his brother-in-law was. He also knew of two things he probably had more knowledge on compared to Maxim.

Looking to get the deets on all Towhee's embarrassing stories? Or perhaps you'd like to pick up some tips on how to lose a leg? As much as his lack of limb made him weary, it was also a good source of making others uncomfortable, which somehow set him at ease. Perhaps collective awkwardness around it somehow canceled out the bad vibes.
