Northstar Vale Incredible thoughts, incredible minds

Phox grimaced as Fennec spoke. He had known it was coming from their last conversation, but that didn't make it any easier to swallow. And Killer had a question of them, something that Phox also had an inkling about. After all, it had sounded as though his grandson wanted to lead, and what better time than this? Towhee seemed adamant on staying here, and she wanted Fennec and Killdeer to come live here. Phox thought about that, but then, there wasn't much room for Killer as a leader here, especially now that Towhee and Maxim were leading alongside Arsenio and Tamar.

As for Phox... it was a harder call to make. He didn't have any prospects here, as Meadow and Reyson—despite their fallout—seemed to be trying to make things work. But he had vowed (to himself) that he would be involved with Towhee's kids this year. He'd missed the last two years, and missing another felt selfish if it was only for the chance of maybe finding someone to settle down with. That could always wait.

-Somewhere close?- Phox asked, casting Towhee a sideways glance.
