Heron Lake Plateau Bad company

He'd hoped at least for some sort of nod that yeah, those were problems and Elwood would have a chat with her.  Maybe actually help her out instead of... whatever.  Early semi-retirement?  For all the calls of them needing to support Towhee, Quixote believed she was being neglected by the ones who were supposed to help her.

Leaders were scum.  If they weren't bad, they were lazy.  Maybe some were both.  It was a fact of life he'd learned to live with, and so it would continue here.  He'd try to fill in gaps as long as he remained, but it left him questioning if that was the best idea.  Maybe it was better if he let it all fall apart.  See how happy they were if Towhee's lack of diplomacy and Elwood's lack of response blew up in their faces.

Quixote looked to Colt.  Yeah, he was ready to head off, and if they were going to talk more, he'd be up for that too. At least for a while.  He did rather want to go mope.
