Redhawk Caldera i’ll digest you one kiss at a time

Eljay listened as the Heda said what they were going to do and a worried frown flashed across his face. They were leaving Wildfire behind and someone else that he didn't know was staying, too. "Wait," said Eljay, though it came out squeaky and weird-sounding. He scraped his throat as he looked at the Heda with an almost pleading expression. "Is... C-could I stay here a bit longer too, and... And go home when Wildfire does?" He glanced at the pups, knowing he had his duties, and if he wasn't missable through the journey because he needed to care for the pups then he would do it, but he felt his heart hoping he could stay just a tiny bit longer so that he could help care for Wildfire, learn some more from Raven and spend time with his parents... He felt his heart thud in his chest as he waited for the answer, hoping he'd be allowed, even though he knew it would only further tear his heart apart with the knowledge he had to leave again at some point.
