Heron Lake Plateau searching

The subject easily slipped onto the Caldera. Eljay wasn't too sure whether he was happy or sad that daddy missed it, too. Someone to share his own grief with, but also a sadness that daddy felt the same grief as he did. Some days it felt all-consuming, just like the grief he had felt that time mommy had been lost for some time. He could only hope that daddy didn't feel the pain as vividly as he did, for he wouldn't wish it on anyone else.

The whole situation was unclear to Eljay and after a moment of silence he half wondered, half asked: "Do you think we'll ever be able to go back there..?" He knew things were rough with blackfeather woods at the time, but what if they were already long gone? And what if they could make up with the blackfeather wolves? Eljay just wanted to be back home more than anything else.
