Redhawk Caldera steady and hold tight

hoping for @Whip since we haven't threaded yet? :D

Things were looking pretty bleak and Eljay felt jittery thinking about how badly he needed to find food. He had already been not that good at hunting, even though he'd caught a thing or two after his initial catch of the rabbit, but now that there was so little food around it was practically impossible for him to catch anything. It made him feel small and useless, like he was just taking up space that mommy needed to be healthy throughout her pregnancy with.

Perhaps he should've been hunting, but Eljay decided to drop by the pups instead today. He brought a scruffy-looking piece of fox, a mangled-looking forepaw that he'd had for a while. It wasn't too pretty, but maybe the pups would like to play with it. Especially considering the situation they were in, the earlier the pups learned to hone their hunting instincts, the better, he imagined. And so Eljay set out towards the rendezvous site, hoping to catch one or more pups there.
