Redhawk Caldera like a whirlwind

It was hard to say 'no' to daddy, because Eljay loved daddy very much. But he also loved mommy and he was losing grip on himself. Even as he said no he felt hunger churn at him and he realised he didn't even know when he'd last eaten. But it was too late now, he had declined the offer and he decided to stay here. He did not even realise himself how much he was fading away; how his ribs were starting to show and his fur was getting less shiny than before. He sighed softly as daddy asked if he could join him, eventually, after a silence between them that felt uncomfortable to Eljay.

"Sure," he said and he continued to stare into the distance. A moment he perked up when he saw a grey spot in the distance, only to slump down when he realised it was just a prey animal of some sort with mommy's grey tones.
