Redhawk Caldera my whole life is thunder.

As Lagan said 'they're not that bad', Eljay mentally thought, yes they are! But he didn't say a word, just gratefully munching on the bugs and then swallowing them. He didn't like the taste very much at all, but he smiled at Lagan anyway, trying his best not to look too disgruntled by the bugs' taste (though it was clear from the look on his face this wasn't his favourite food in the world). He'd never liked bugs.

Then there were Liffey's bugs. Meanwhile, Lagan said that he would play at the rendezvous site and Eljay chuckled as he received his brother's lick. He nipped at his brother's face before said brother pulled away and Eljay said, "I'm gonna rest for a bit. Catch you later!" He watched as his brother ran off and then told Liffey after casting the bugs she'd brought him, "Sorry for the effort, if you don't mind I'm just gonna scoop these under a rock again..." He grinned apologetically, hoping that she didn't mind, but not wanting to lie to her too — he just hadn't been able to break his brother's heart, and before he had actual bugs in his mouth it seemed like a good idea. "You can go play now, if you wanna, I'm going to catch some more z's." He smiled softly as he used an expression he was pretty sure he'd once heard from Uncle P, and nosed Liffey's face to encourage her to go play with her brother.
