Grouse Thicket over the hills and far away

The girl was submissive and friendly enough luckily and soon identified herself as Easy, a friend of Tegan's. Eljay's face fell into a worried frown when she said that she was lost, and he wondered how she'd found this place; and if she would find her way home, and how. "Where is your home?" he asked, figuring if they knew where she lived maybe he could help her get home; though Eljay's sense of direction wasn't very good, maybe others knew.

Eljay hadn't heard of Tegan being in trouble because he'd brought someone 'home' (though his eyes widened at this news, as he thought 'home' meant inside the territory), though he could imagine Towhee hadn't been amused.

Just as Eljay was about to say that Tegan'd probably get there soon mommy showed up just as Easy said that she wanted to prove her coolness to Towhee. Eljay didn't really think Easy was 'cool', but mostly because everyone that he defined as 'cool' were wolves that'd mock him or think of him as lower than everyone else. Though he guessed Tegan was kinda cool so maybe, since he hung out with Easy, she was too. Or maybe she was just not uncool.

Deciding to stop headaching himself with his internal discussion about the definition of coolness Eljay said, "Hi mommy," and nuzzled the underside of mommy's chin respectfully with a faint wag of his tail. "This is Easy, a friend of Tegan's."
