Grouse Thicket Obsess less beetle buds

This would have been so much more fun if he'd been able to say more previously, dammit.  But everything was fixed now, so he could come back and all would be well.  Even if it was weird and unexpected and just generally strange.  It'd take a hell of a lot of getting used to, but this meeting was a way more cheery one than any other Quixote had since the promotion.

It was time for a short summary just to get all the excitement out of the way at once -- he could expand on it later once Colt got over the shock of it all, Well, I did say that I thought you kinda knocked Towhee off balance a bit.  And so, you know how I said I might have done something that might get me kicked too?  Yeah.  That was because I kind of hooked up with Raven.  Quixote was kinda sheepish about it, but that was drowned by just the whole fact he was acting like he was ready to tease someone.  Anyway, she went to go confess to Towhee what happened --  Dramatic short pause, then onward to the big kaboom, And she comes back from that... And hi, I'm alpha now, so's Raven.  Of course, he had to stop there with a kind of dorky grin.  Even though it had been about a week, it still seemed utterly unreal, and he still had no idea what had gone through Towhee's brain to decide this was the best course of action but what the hell ever, he'd take it.
