Redhawk Caldera you promised that you'd never leave

Although Eljay still seemed reluctant, he promised to improve himself and dutifully swallowed some of the food after Raven carefully persuaded him. Elwood looked up as Kaizer excused himself; he nodded, but did not call out after the receding wolf. He appreciated the near-stranger's diligence to assist, despite the fact that he didn't know the Blackthorn family or their circumstances.

"Do you want to go back to the rendezvous site and rest?" Elwood asked. Even if Eljay didn't want to eat much now, it sounded like there would be a fresh meal on the way from Kaizer. Then, he suggested, "Maybe Raven can go with you, and I'll -- I'll stay here and keep an eye out for Mom." It seemed a little silly, since he knew he wouldn't see Finley and Lucy appearing on the horizon, but he was willing to do anything to placate his son and preserve his apparently feeble health.
