Broken Antler Fen You float like a feather

Phox hummed as Wraen explained that she had run into Bronco, only to be shut down by him. That was too bad, but Phox was not terribly surprised. He had not even been sure that Bronco had told him everything. And honestly, that was okay. Phox did not feel he needed to know every little detail of his stepson's life, and he felt the same way about Fennec. Part of growing up was getting a little bit more freedom to keep things to yourself. He did hope that Fennec would let them know next time she needed some space to herself, but he also did not think that was very likely.

Oh, me too! Phox said when Wraen mentioned running off. I ran off and left everybody behind at the first hint of war back when Towhee and me were kids. She was absolutely livid with me when I came back and joined the Redhawks back when they were living on the plateau. Funny to think we're so close now after all of that.

Maybe there was something to be said about conflict bringing folks closer together in the long run. Nowadays, Phox and Towhee were like two peas in a pod and finished each other's sandwiches sentences.

The little tidbit of history Wraen shared about Terance was surprising to him as well. He had not known any of that, and his expression showed as much.

Rock-eating, eh? I wonder who that was...

Phox didn't know any rock-eating wolves, but he likely wasn't around during that time anyway.
