Heron Lake Plateau Bigger is better

Tywyll an Cinder were in each other's hairs again and Eljay wasn't sure what to do about it. Meanwhile there was still the issue with Tegan and the girlfriend-search and Eljay felt like there were more fires to put out than he could. For now he decided to let the fire of his youngest siblings roar on and just let them figure it out themselves, and turned to Tegan, who seemed to suddenly be a lot more serious again and presented it as an option, not a certainty.

The thing was, Eljay did maybe want a girlfriend, because he wanted to become a father some day. But the whole subject of finding a girlfriend was very daunting at the same time and he was not too sure he would be a good boyfriend. And he also wasn't sure if Tegan, of all wolves, would be the right one to ask for help...

"Uh —" he hesitated as he thought about all of this. "I dunno, I... Maybe? Do you... know anyone who'd want me?" He hadn't meant to sound so pathetic but somehow it ended up coming out of his mouth that way. Eljay instantly regretted it but there wasn't a whole lot he could do about it now that it was out.
