Golden Glade Control alternate delete

Set for the evening of the 11th. For one of you Frosthawks. ;)

Phox didn't intend to be gone long. He merely wanted to swing by the plateau, let Raven know that everything was going well, then march right back home to continue securing his claim in the glade. When he got to the glade, however, something was definitely up. While the Redhawks had always frequented here, Raven, Quixote, and a bunch of other scents he didn't recognize were strong tonight. That was curious, and Phox stood still at the invisible border.

Had something happened that had forced them from the plateau? Was his move with Towhee for nothing if they could have stayed there? Of course, he remembered that Fennec would not have been safe on the plateau once she began exploring further... but they could have delayed their departure. Or maybe not. Several factors had gone into their separation from Raven and Quixote, but it still left Phox stunned. Why would they be here?
