Heron Lake Plateau missing you

Eljay would have loved to have helped with actually delivering the pups, mostly because he was afraid for Raven's life -- as he was every year for mommy's, too -- after he had almost seen mommy die once and he knew that Fox had died in childbirth, too. But it was clear from her answer that while she would like for him to help with the actual pups, maybe not with the birth. Eljay resolved that he would stay nearby when it would happen so that maybe he could at least help Quixote through the nerves and if things did go south, he would be nearby to help right away.

"Yeah," Eljay said when Raven reminisced about how much work it'd been to raise the babes that Uncle P and Aunt Fox had left behind in the wake of their deaths. As she went on to say that she could use the help as Alpha, he nodded. "I'll do my best in helping to raise them and take care of them when you can't be there. I — Luckily I have a lot of experience with all the pups that were born the last years. I'm super careful." Eljay'd often watched his younger siblings, too, and while he couldn't provide them with any food he had always been super duper careful with them in their earliest weeks and moons to make sure they would stay healthy and safe.
