Heron Lake Plateau make me feel

Eljay smiled as Raven echoed his statement. It was like being a special uncle in a way, or maybe a brother. Raven's next question caught Eljay off-guard a bit. He hadn't thought much of it, though this comment was perhaps the catalyst that made him think of it more -- as he would think of how much he loved Owen and the others while watching the stars and wonder if he would have something like this on his own; perhaps he would not have without Raven's comment.

But for now he felt awkward, which showed. "Oh, uh -- I hadn't thought of it much, I guess." He hoped to have pups of his own some day, but wasn't sure if he would find a girl who'd love him some day. He had never been in love. "I'd love to be a dad some day, though." Eljay smiled, though there was a certain melancholy to that smile because of his realisation that it may never happen. It had always been 'when he grew up, of course' but this was the first time he realised he hadn't ever thought of it much, while somehow assuming that he would some day be a dad. Now, he realised that may not be the case.
