Redhawk Caldera the quiet child

Eljay's determination was admirable; this was one of the first times that Elwood would see his son display this trait. The boy wiggled forward, fractions of an inch at a time, and then stopped. He seemed almost to be frustrated, but after half a minute of stillness, he moved again. The grin that split Elwood's lips could not have been bigger and he couldn't help but encourage his boy to keep moving forward. "That's it! You're doing it, buddy!" he said softly.

Eventually, the pup reached his destination and blinked his big blue eyes up at his father. He then shifted his gaze to the other wolf at Elwood's side, and his reaction was comical. His expression registered surprise as he looked at his mom for the first time, and Elwood watched -- fascinated! -- as Eljay put Finley's familiar scent together with her appearance. "That's Mama," he said, keeping his voice low so as not to disturb her slumber.
