Redhawk Caldera like a whirlwind

tags for reference ^^

Wistfully he sat at the borders that day. His fur looked a little less shiny than before and his stomach a little less well-fed; he had not been taking care of himself very well lately. He wasn't even patrolling or really keeping guard; all Eljay did was stare off into the distance, hoping to see a trace of @Finley or @Lucy in the distance. He knew it was stupid to expect such things, even moreso with each passing day, but he didn't know what else to do.

It was hours that he'd sat there, but it felt much longer and at the same time, so much shorter because nothing eventful happened. He just stared, seemingly serene to anyone who didn't know him, who didn't come too close to see his desperate, anguished expression; yet on the inside, he was like a whirlwind.
