Redhawk Caldera come on over

pups maybe?? :D @Gannet @Peter @Whip (didn't tag Ferret since we have a thread going on but if you want to you're welcome too ofc )

Eljay had been spending lots and lots of time at the Redhawk den lately. He felt happy when he was hanging around being useful, and he just wanted to get out of his parents' way. He had always been very clingy to them and maybe it was time to give them some space, Eljay sadly realised. Already he wished that he could just spend time with mommy, lay down by her side and cover his face with her soft fluffy fur. But she probably didn't want that, Eljay thought sourly, even though he loved her more than anything in the world. And so he would give her some space while he could work on his caretaker trade and prepare watching the babies fulltime for a day or so in the future when Uncle P and Aunt Fox needed to get away for a moment.

Eljay had found the remnants of a fox somewhere, probably killed by another pack member or maybe another animal. Among the remnants Eljay had found half a tail, and though it was patchy and lots of fur was missing he had taken it and was bringing it to the Redhawk den so that he could let the puppies play with it. Feeling in an uncharacteristic good mood, Eljay trotted up to the den carrying the patchy piece of fox tail and after putting it down he softly called out, "Puppies, c'm on out!" hoping they would come; with the watchful eye of aunt Fox and uncle P in the background, of course.
