"Oh, um, thanks," Eljay murmured, clearly not sure how to deal with the compliment that he had been given, and he looked away. Glad to see the subject shift towards other things he continued, as Birk showed some form of interest in his aspirations, "It's kind of hard, uhm...

Or rather, for helping the pups grow — Eljay had a lot to learn still, but he was slowly getting there.

"Towhee can't hear anything," Eljay said with a serious expression on his face, as if he thought Birk didn't realise this yet; "That's why she tries to make gestures a lot and stuff. Uh, but I'm not very good with the signing, so I'm glad she started to sort of talk too." 'Sort of' because it was hard to hear what she was saying a lot of the time because she didn't know how to do the intonations as well. "But the biggest advice is to be patient," Eljay shared with a soft smile. That was how he tried to get through, anyway, with the past and present firebird bunch.
