Redhawk Caldera fading away

Even when someone fell over him Eljay didn't startle visibly, almost as if he was already gone. He lifted his head and looked at her, blinking. He didn't realise who was standing before him at first, but then he remembered that daddy'd mentioned Raven's return. That also explained why she knew his name. It was weird seeing her again, because she looked so much smaller than she had before. Eljay suddenly felt self-conscious for looking like a lazy slob, and he looked at his paws in shame.

"Uhm, yeah," he mumbled to confirm that he was indeed Eljay. "No, I'm not sick," he said quickly, not wanting to worry her with false information. He was fine, or at least technically, physically, he supposed; even though his body seemed to tell a different story.
