Ankyra Sound holding out for a hero

She stepped back, letting Eljay eat. Tytonidae sighed, a pensive look mottling her usual optimistic expression. She knew she couldn't force Eljay to come live with her, but she was worried about him. She also couldn't continue to hunt for him or look after him if he wasn't part of Bhediyon. Being a lone wolf was not something wolves were supposed to do. They needed the camaraderie of a pack in order to survive, and Eljay's current condition was a testament to that fact.

When he finished his meal, Ty turned back toward him. "No luck with that pack, huh?" she asked, already knowing the answer. "Why don't you come stay with us on the plateau? I have a few others pledged to the cause. And once you're in better shape, you can try that pack again." So long as Eljay got better and helped the pack while he was around, she had no qualms with him leaving for another pack whenever he felt like it.
