Redhawk Caldera sometimes following your heart means losing your head

It was only when daddy's soothing voice reached his ears that Eljay snapped out of his sobbing and he looked up at his father with a wobbly lip and sore eyes from crying. The only thing that made Eljay comply with daddy's request was the promise that he could bring Peter. They'd bring him somewhere safe, now. "Don't worry Petey, I'll bring you somewhere safe," he muttered into the soft, cold fur of Peter's head and he lifted himself to his feet. Eljay then looked at the head as tears started to spill from eyes again and he sobbed a few times, looking away, back to the head, and sobbed some more.

Eventually he picked up the head, gently as though he was holding a pup, and followed daddy wherever while he tried to ignore the disgusting swing of the spine to his chest as he walked. Only when they would reach Peregrine and Fox would Eljay eventually let go of Peter's remains, to give them to him, still alternating between denial and grief. He would transfer to the former after handing off Peter's remains, erasing from his mind this had ever taken place; or at least the crude and real details of it.
