Redhawk Caldera Achillea millefolium

not random at all :3 and lmao DON'T MENTION THE BEETLES TO ELJAY, TOO SOON MAN, TOO SOON

Jay noticed Njal's demeanor changing, although he did not actively do so. He just felt more tense and withdrawn himself, feeling a little overloaded with all that was coming at him. To him, this felt very sudden, because while he did notice Njal's expression briefly, the pup did not link it to how he was feeling, himself. It was mostly subconsciously that he picked up the emotions brought forth by the heavy thoughts of his adult companion.

Jay did not say anything about Njal's sad look, because he was young, but mostly because he was shy and uncertain what to do with or about it, so he left it be.

When Njal started to talk again, little Jay easily forgot about the sad moment and his tail wiggled briefly as he looked at Njal. When the paw was placed next to him, little Jay carefully reached out his own paw and put it on top of Njal's. He looked instantly to the adult to make sure that he was not doing anything wrong, and watched his own smaller paw on top of the bigger paw. He didn't really consider or think much about growing up yet, small and living on instinct for the moment, although it might look as though he was thinking of that considering he stared thoughtfully at the two paws.
