Eljay missed mommy a lot. She'd only just returned when the pups were born and aunt Fox had passed away. Eljay was sad for her death, but he found himself even more sad to be missing mommy. In turn, he felt guilty, both for being so useless and not providing enough for the pack in such trying times. Whip had vanished, too, but Eljay felt with numbers small and his inexperience in exploration it'd be foolish to go look for him. He'd probably just get lost, or something.

Mommy and @Raven were looking after the pups, so the whole pack was providing for them, since there were so many and the pack was small. Eljay arrived at the den with a fresh catch, a scrawny rabbit -- barely enough to feed himself, but he'd eat from the cache later -- and he chuffed to announce his arrival at the den, hoping to catch mommy or Raven awake.
