Redhawk Caldera With a tail as big as a kite

@Eljay, if you've got time! :) Others are welcome to join, too!

His son was growing by leaps and bounds, at least physically. Emotionally and socially, he still seemed to be much younger than his six months of age, but Elwood had accepted Eljay's quirky personality long ago. Now that he and Finley had patched things up, he felt much better about, well, everything -- and he hoped that this positive change reflected on Eljay.

It was a crisp, cool day, and as Elwood returned from a morning hunt, a gentle flurry of snow began to fall around him. He paused, turning his face to the sky as snowflakes melted on his cheeks. His breath rose in a cloud and then dissipated right before his very eyes. The Beta hastened towards home, eager to witness Eljay's first experience with the white stuff.

"Eljay!" he called as he neared the rendezvous site, looking left and right for the lanky boy. He lowered his head to the ground and gave a sniff; he knew Eljay was around here somewhere.
