Redhawk Caldera if only you knew

set about a day after the lazy afternoons thread.

Eljay had meant to return the rabbit to mommy like she had asked, but he'd been afraid to return home. He had ended up sleeping somewhere under a tree, feeling forlorn and sad to be away from his baby siblings and mommy and daddy. He'd barely gotten any sleep in and after awaking he had found the boy that looked like Peter. Now he had dropped by the cache, only to find the rabbit carcass he was supposed to bring half-eaten by scavengers. Eljay shood away a couple of ravens that were picking at the meat and he grabbed the carcass in his mouth.

With heavy paws he wandered back in the direction of home, afraid that mommy would be upset that he had been gone all night and that she would be upset, like Uncle P was, with his behaviour of late. As he arrived by the den with the ravaged rabbit carcass he chuffed to announce his presence, wondering if daddy @Elwood or mommy @Finley were nearby. He hoped they hadn't gone looking for him. He'd just been afraid they were angry and that's why he hadn't come back right away. Surely one of them was present, what with the pups still young and confined to the den.
