It should've relieved Eljay that he no longer had to help the female, but he knew that life wasn't that easy. Even if the deer was stuck, one adult alone was likely to get hurt if there was no one to help. Eljay felt panic rise and he had difficulty breathing when the female said that he no longer needed to come because she would do it alone.

He followed her as she went, his breathing still shallow and not one hair on his body considering getting within kicking distance of the prey. "Please just call someone else to help! A pack's gotta help each other! This is stupid, you're gonna get hurt if you try it alone!" Eljay choked out, his words broken up with little emotional sobs that indicated how seriously bothered he was by this. He felt really dumb for being so emotional over a potential situation that hadn't even happened yet, but couldn't help himself as he fretted over this unknown pack mate's life and health.
