Redhawk Caldera you promised that you'd never leave

Elwood bit back his frustration as Raven probed Eljay with questions. He didn't answer any of them -- instead, he requested his mother's presence. In that moment, Elwood was angry with Finley, despite knowing that the whole reason she was gone was to try to put their broken family back together. He took a deep breath, recognizing that none of his feelings mattered at that moment -- what was important was Eljay's health, and helping him.

"I wish she was here too, buddy. You're not a bother -- can you tell Raven how you're feeling, so she can help you?" he asked, masking his vexation expertly -- it wasn't difficult when he was truly concerned about his son's well-being. Eljay had hit rock bottom before, but not quite like this.
