>> Mr. Dipper is in custody - I'm assuming - or in the wind, which would be worse.<<
They did catch him.
>> The disadvantaged children that haven't bolted are in capable and compassionate hands. Nothing says that they won't end up in juvie but that would probably be if there were serious charges against them. Hopefully they can all go to respectable family members/foster homes.<<
T-America prefers to reserve jail for the worst situations, because otherwise it just makes matters worse. That's especially true for troubled youth, the last thing you want is to put them in with a lot of criminal role models. Probably Crackleball will wind up in Juvenile Hall, as the most violent of the kids, but the others will more likely go elsewhere.
>> Turq did really well in calming down Tacy and leading Ansel to her and then leading Tacy and Ansel back out to safety. <<
Agreed. That shows he's getting a better handle on his own emotions, because you can't give what you don't have.
>> Even if he followed the deer instinct and bolted for a second, he circled back and made sure his herd were safe. In nature a young buck probably would bolt if they heard a gunshot because there's usually an older buck/lead stag making sure the herd is following and safe. So Turq followed deer hierarchy and then realised that he was the lead stag even if he's a young buck and followed his deer form's budding leadership instinct.<<
That's a very good observation.
>>I'm glad that Justin was able to explain to Turq about Ansel's needed adrenaline crash after being woken so rapidly to curb some, if not all, of Turq's worry.<<
Yeah, Ansel's "heavy sleeper" weakness has a variety of presentations, and this is one. He needs people around who can compensate.
>> EEE! Turq sees Ansel's place as home. *Angel is squidgy warm gooey feelings* <<
:D I'm glad you enjoyed that. Despite all the rough spots, Turq's attachment is still somewhat functional and has latched onto Ansel and his place.
