Redhawk Caldera you can make me whole again

Eljay froze when Shrike started to laugh, feeling as though he must've said something stupid for getting laughed at. Ears folded back and forth in confusion, but he decided to brush it off for now and trying not to assume the worst. At least he had made Shrike laugh, even if it was by saying something stupid. Either that, or Shrike was crazy, or something.

Then he said they would try just so that they could practise. Eljay bit his lip as it became clear to him he was supposed to jump off someone else, fearful that he'd ruin it because he was clumsy. "I'm not very good at jumping... Couldn't you do that, and I'll stand and let you jump off me..?" There was a pitch to the end of his sentence, almost as if he knew the answer would be 'no' and he'd still have to do it.
