Heron Lake Plateau home is where your heart is

Eljay was relieved even further to find that Wildfire was being totally normal towards him. As if nothing ever happened. At the very least she didn't seem angry in any way, which helped him calm down further. His mind kept spinning tales that didn't hep with the breathing, but he felt better to be in her company, at least, better knowing that she was here and that she was being nice.

"Yeah," he said with a soft smile, while he tried to focus on his breathing still. It was hard doing that and listening to all the things Wiffle was saying. "I'm glad." But he said it after what Wildfire'd said about the change in scenery, though he had intended it to mean he was glad that she had found her way back here. "I mean, glad that you're back. Not glad about the scenery. I hate this place." Eljay's breathing sped up again as he said something unpopular -- he didn't mean to sound ungrateful about their new pack lands -- and he blurted out a "Sorry" that might seem very out of place for someone who didn't realise how panicked he was feeling, as to him it felt like everyone within a mile would realise how idiotic he was behaving.
