Heron Lake Plateau born in the right country

The call kind of surprised Quixote.  Partially because he was assuming he'd just get ignored forever, and second of all because Phox didn't sound pissed -- which was about the only reason he figured that he'd get called by that particular pack member.  Sure, to a point he didn't have high expectations of anyone (including himself) but at least the whole thing with the Firebirds and Niamh leaving seemed to have maybe taken a little of the pressure off so he didn't quite feel like he was going to get shanked in a dark alley by an angry punk kid.

Anyway, he showed up on the scene, pretty much neutral in mood.  He looked between them, then to Phox since he was the one who called, What's up?  It wasn't like Quixote had much of a clue, he was out of date on Phox news.  Okay, he wasn't 100% clueless just because Camilla was practically eating him alive, but thus far Phox hadn't really shown much interest in showing up to say hi to any of the kids-that-aren't-very-small in the pack, but eh.  He wasn't going to assume.  The minute you did that, they would totally prove you wrong and it'd be something dumb like they wanted to go join the Firebirds too.
