Heron Lake Plateau If we pass in the night then just hand me a light

Eljay, as per usual, had no clue what was going on, of course. And he was hanging around where mommy and daddy were shacked up, of course, because he was pretty sure Wiffle would remember taking them when she left for the copse, and that way he couldn't miss being taken. Besides, it was always fun hanging out with his siblings, too. Eljay's ears perked up as he saw Uncle Colt draw closer. Still totally oblivious, he smiled at his uncle and approached with a wag of his tail. Eljay didn't know Uncle Colt very well, but he was still family.

"Hiya uncle Colt," said Eljay. "Are you looking for mommy? I don't know where she's at." She might return here shortly -- Eljay hoped so -- but for now, she and daddy weren't here, right now. He waited to hear the answer, figuring he could keep uncle Colt company until mommy and daddy returned if need be.
