Heron Lake Plateau plan b

Eljay was starting to shuffle away; he saw the girl that Towhee was with get up first, then say something to Towhee. He wasn't entirely sure what he was seeing. Was she saying something private? Or maybe a good bye, because Eljay had caught them? The only thing that drew him in fully was the look of anger and disgust on Towhee's face, which he thought was directed at him. Eljay visibly startled and froze in his tracks, standing at a small distance from the pair as Towhee got up and left the scene, stomping away.

... Leaving Eljay standing there with this girl he didn't know who was Towhee's... something? Had he seen right? After a few seconds of standing still entirely Eljay took a few careful steps forward again and he said, "I -- sorry, I'm... I didn't mean to break up the... the moment." Eljay wasn't entirely sure what he had seen and how private or public this thing was really, so he hoped that his somewhat-vague statement would draw out some more information.
