Redhawk Caldera IGNIS UMBRA

Daddy halted and turned towards Eljar, much to his relief, when he started to shout. If Eljay wasn't in the way, he could follow the adults, and Eljay decided that was probably as good as it was gonna get. He didn't consider the possibility that his dad might get hurt in the hunt, as he didn't realise it was dangerous at all (for him or for daddy). Therefore he did not understand either when daddy said he could get hurt, but he just nodded quickly.

"Okay daddy!" he eagerly agreed. "I'm be good, promiss!"

Eljay looked at Uncle P. when he said that mommy would want him to be good and listen to daddy. He felt tears well up as he thought of mommy's lacking presence, and anger that uncle P. was telling him what mommy would want rather than finding her. Eljay was upset that his uncle was telling him off, not used to anyone outside of daddy treating him roughly, but unlike with daddy earlier today he didn't find any angry retorts. Instead, the sensitive little boy just glared at his uncle with an unhappy frown before he averted his gaze, not saying anything to his uncle. He feared losing daddy more than being reprimanded though, and nuzzled daddy's haunch to indicate that he was ready to go. They took off again, Eljay following closely by daddy's hind (possibly a little too close for comfort once they'd engage), focussed entirely on staying with daddy to make sure he didn't get lost or away.
