Redhawk Caldera steady and hold tight

Eljay did not really understand why Whip seemed to be upset for a little bit and then settled down as soon as he handed over the gift. Then again, he could understand why the pups were tense considering the circumstances. He gave them all he could but the food just wasn't enough... Eljay's tail wagged gently when Whip settled down and looked at his gift.

A soft smile danced on Eljay's face, breaking the mould of worry that he had carried so far, when Whip grabbed the fox paw and cradled it close to his chest. He looked so adorable. "I used to play with this when I was little," Eljay explained to the boy. "And now I want you to have it so you always got someone... or something." It had been a sort of replacement for the siblings he did not have for Eljay, and while Whip didn't need that, it was still nice to have things for oneself. Always have something nearby. Eljay was becoming a big boy and so he shouldn't need it any longer.
