Redhawk Caldera two years past

Gannet watched silently as his cousin continued on after his drink, seemingly without seeing him.  Stop him, or let him go? Talk, or let him disappear like everyone seemed to want to do?

Once again, he was struck with the curiosity of wishing to know why.  What made a wolf want to leave their family behind and strike out? The feeling was enough that it spurred him into a run, one fast enough to help close the distance between them.

When he got close enough, he slowed down.  There wasn't any of his normal enthusiasm in the approach, just a guarded sort of curiosity.  "You're leaving."  It was a statement on the assumption he made, but it was the only thing that made sense.  Eljay's apparent distress, and his current trajectory, made that fairly obvious.
