Redhawk Caldera today's not so bad

Eljay had brought Fox things a couple of times during her pregnancy, but he had mostly stayed out of the way. He hadn't yet hunted anything, anyway, so there was little to bring, but he had saved scraps from his own meals a couple of times and had asked his parents for some help. Over the past month or so Eljay had begun taking trips on his own more and more, although he had always stayed within Redhawk Caldera's confines. Eljay wished that he could hang out more often with Aunt Fox, but he felt intrusive and he was also kind of scared of Nightjar and afraid that Nightjar'd pop up and make fun of him or chase him off if he was around his aunt too much.

Today Eljay had collected some of the first flowers that grew, and just as he neared the place where Aunt Fox stayed, she came out of the den. What was more, Nightjar was nowhere to be seen, and it seemed like it was his lucky day altogether. "Aunt Fox! I brought you these!" Eljay called out enthusiastically as he approached, and as he spoke the flowers nearly fell from his mouth, so he quickly snatched them from the air again before they fell on the ground. Just before he reached Aunt Fox, however, Eljay clumsily tripped over a loose rock and he fell flat on his face, sending the flowers flying everywhere as he sprawled onto the ground, looking rather comical.
