Redhawk Caldera now what

Eljay didn't really expect a thank-you and the surprise was vivid on his face. He wasn't too sure if what he had done was really the right thing, because he'd disobeyed orders given to him by the Heda and he should've really just stayed in Drageda. Overall it made him feel like a failure and to hear Towhee praise it as if it were a good thing felt awkward to him. "Oh, uhm," he muttered, though didn't get very far before Towhee continued about his fighting 'efforts' (which was good, as he didn't really know what to say anyway).

She offered to train with him and said he should get better at fighting. Eljay frowned with a concerned expression on his face, as he didn't think he was very good at fighting at all and doubted he ever would be. To learn that was like.. well, he couldn't really find something to compare it with, but it seemed an impossible task to him.

"Okay," he said, though the word came out more defeatedly than intended. Considering he didn't want to piss Towhee off, Eljay added an uncertain: "I'll try." In his experience trying was rarely enough to make something work, but it was the most he had to offer right now, unfortunately.
