Redhawk Caldera What happened back there?

Although they had won the war and things had mostly gone back to normal, there were still a few things that troubled Elwood. Whip had disappeared not too long ago without a word, and Elwood had to assume it had something to do with the battle and the damage he had sustained to his face. On top of that, Sebastian apparently hadn't been well; he hadn't seen his friend in person, but had heard about his lingering infection and hallucinations.

When he spotted Sebastian up and moving around the caldera, Elwood was first and foremost glad to see him. As they approached each other, his gaze lingered on the remains of Sebastian's tail, thinking about the irony that he now resembled his father even more. He moved with a limp, so Elwood accelerated in order to close the gap between them and save Sebastian from putting too much effort into his movements.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, somewhat cautiously but with warm, genuine interest in his voice.
