He was glad that they'd chosen somewhere so close by, so at least visiting wasn't an issue. Phox chuckled at her comment about coming home. It was true that his standard greeting to any of the kids that came home was to dig up some grub for them. He couldn't help himself; he just wanted the kids to be happy and full!

I suppose that's the only way we get them to keep coming back, he said. Phox sighed, happy that one of his kids had decided to stick around. Figment didn't appear to be running off anytime soon, especially with his new apparent interest in learning the leadership ropes.

I'll probably hit up Fig sometime soon and see how he really feels about leadership. I love Towhee to pieces, but she can push pretty hard when she thinks she has a good idea. It would be nice to have a backup.
