Heron Lake Plateau missing you

Eljay smiled softly when Raven said that she thought she was mad because she missed having him around at home. Eljay himself didn't truly understand all of the reasons of why he had left, except that he felt he was dragging the Caldera down and that he should improve his skills. It felt, though, as if he had mostly found out that he didn't have many skills to improve in his time away, rather than learning new ones or improving on those he sorta had. Eljay pushed these thoughts from his mind for now and decided to focus just on the current topic at hand. His tail wagged a few beats when Raven said she was happy that he was back.

"I'm happy I'm back, too," said Eljay, though he wistfully looked 'round as he said this and realised that he was not entirely where he wished to be; not at Redhawk Caldera. But at least he was with its wolves. "Do you — Uhm, should I... I mean — blah." Eljay took a moment to recollect himself and try and find the words to say what he meant to say: "I've been practising what you taught me uhm, about delivering pups and I was thinking that, I was wondering if — if you'd like me to help with — when the pups get there." Eljay smiled awkwardly at Raven, knowing he was making this worse than it needed to be to get his point across.
