Redhawk Caldera kiss on your boo-boo's

"Okay, okay!" Elwood replied with a good-natured tone as the pup insisted that he refrain from helping with the flower picking. He moved back towards Peregrine and took a seat next to his friend, yellow eyes watching as Eljay busied himself with selecting only the "best" flora for Nunkie Pee. This, of course, included flowers with damaged petals and stems as well as healthier ones.

The idea of Eljay as a naturalist caused Elwood to tilt his head thoughtfully. He hadn't given much consideration to his son's future trades, but Peregrine had a point. He was interested in nature -- when he wasn't too busy being afraid of it -- and he would have a great tutor. Perhaps an interest in naturalism would even lead to some training as a healer, as well; he knew that Raven could help with that area of study. Those jobs would keep Eljay safe and close to home -- the longer Finley was gone, the less Elwood wanted him to pursue his mother's passion.
