Heron Lake Plateau very rare, mom jeans on her derriere

Let's be real, if anyone went and asked a stranger to pick the most "normal" wolf out of the pack, it probably wouldn't be any of the three in this thread.  They were all weird in one way or another -- or several.

Niamh was probably going to color his opinion others recently brought into leadership for quite a while.  It was the kind of thing that just lurked there in the back of his mind.  Maybe he'd get over it, maybe not, but it didn't help his other trust issues or his just-this-side-of-pessimistic views...  But damned if he'd make the same mistakes, even if his choices seemed to have put a wall between himself and Towhee.  At some point they probably did need to talk, but this wasn't the time or place -- not that he knew what would be.

Quixote dipped his head and was about to respond again when Towhee interjected.  Yeah, he figured she'd probably be pretty impatient by now.  She didn't do well with lots of words.. Or maybe it was also the waiting around.  Both?  Hell if he knew.  He did utter a single-note laugh, and finally said what he was going to, Good.  Then I'll expect great things -- no pressure.  His smile wasn't nearly as big as Tegan's -- Quixote looked that goofy, someone probably had clonked him upside the head and he forgot who he was -- but hey, he hoped things would work out.  He hoped Tegan would think about things, that he'd be a fair leader who made choices that were right, not just easy.  Well.  They'd find out eventually.
