Redhawk Caldera now what

It felt like forever ago since Eljay had gotten hurt in the dark woods. He'd wanted to return to Drageda after, he really had, but he'd been there with his relatives and returning home seemed like so much of a better plan than going to Drageda, where he wouldn't be able to share any heroic stories of how well he had succeeded at all — only of his failure. This prospect was too daunting and so he had not objected when his family'd taken him here. Home.

Yet the joy of being home and the victory they had made in the war felt stale to Eljay considering how he had contributed little. He was afraid of the life he'd left behind here and how it may come to bite him in the arse. @Raven took care of his wounds but Eljay knew that she thought poorly of him — their last meeting when he'd visited here had proven as much — and he was afraid those kind of relations may never be mended. Besides, @Towhee was Alpha now, he had gathered, and Eljay thought she was pretty scary. Now that he was practically all healed up, would she kick him out again? He wasn't sure it'd be smart to return to Drageda, though he wanted to, if not only to explain. But he didn't think it'd end up very well for him. And besides, this was home, and it felt so good to be back here...

Eljay went out for a brief stroll, hoping to catch @Finley or @Elwood for some much needed catching up time with mommy and daddy.
