Redhawk Caldera With a tail as big as a kite

Eljay was just sleeping in a shallow den at the rendezvous site when he heard daddy's voice. Although Eljay wasn't truly happy, the positive changes in his parents did reflect on him. Elwood Junior seemed different each day: some days when he was out with mommy and daddy things were great, and other days when something or other caused him anxiety he would crumble. And some days he would look at his parents' happiness and feel left out, as if life had given everyone around him happy pills and he was sitting alone in the corner, sober.

When he heard his father's voice, Eljay snapped awake and turned his head in the voice's direction. "Daddy?" he mumbled sleepily and smacked his lips until he felt a little more awake. He looked at his front paws then and startled when he saw they were covered in white, fluffy stuff. His eyes widened as he looked at it, and without getting up from the shallow hollowing underneath a small tree, Eljay reached out to sniff, then lick the stuff... Only to see a couple of snowflakes drift down upon his nose as he did so.
