Redhawk Caldera i may be crazy, don't mind me.

Eljay continued to look pleadingly at mommy, wanting to go forward and make her stay here — but finding himself unable to, rooted in place, too afraid to further anger his mother. She said it was okay but she was still leaving him, and he whined as she departed, ears flattened and tail tucked, a pleading, hoarse whine. As it fell on deaf ears he watched her leave, shaking still as he vaguely heard daddy say something to him too.

It was hard, and he didn't understand it, and it shouldn't have been hard at all. Eljay looked at Lagan, who was just... normal. Who wasn't overreacting, wasn't being weird. He was everything that Eljay was except better and less in all the right places and more in all the right places, too. Eljay frowned sadly as daddy asked if they wished to talk or not and Lagan decided to leave.

"Me too," he said quietly, deciding that he should stop being stupid and just be normal — be like Lagan. But as he gave daddy and Lagan a watery smile and walked off he wasn't intending to go sleep at all. He'd wander about and think, a lot, and then think some more while he tried to get the confusing scent from his nostrils.
