"I was there when mommy had my baby siblings," Eljay said, feeling a weird sort of proud of that. He knew it wasn't normal, and mommy and seemed to take some time to decide if it was okay, which made it all the more special.

Sebastian then said he could come visit, but Eljay felt frightened at the thought. "I uhm... I don't really go out," he mumbled, feeling really dumb for this. "This is the only time I went outside of Redhawk Caldera..." And he didn't really plan on having many more trips outside; Broken Antler Fen sounded really far away, which sounded a bit too daunting a journey for him to undertake at the moment.

He froze when Sebastian asked about the pup and shuffled his feet, trying to think of what had happened. He wasn't sure — hadn't they just found Peter back? After a moment of hesitation he said, "No, I'm sorry... We, uhm, the Caldera just found Peter back, he — he got lost." He smiled awkwardly and glanced over his shoulder at the safe confines of home. "I should go, but thanks!" he offered, and he turned around and started towards the Caldera.

Only twenty meters of running in did he realise he had accidentally lied, but he couldn't face the facts nor telling an unknown adult that he'd accidentally given wrong information, and so he just kept running.
