Sun Mote Copse There's a song in my heart now

The call didn't sound very urgent, but Eljay just happened to be nearby when it sounded anyway. He heard the optionality in coming -- besides, everyone was called -- but figured that he could help with whatever needed helping with if needed. Truthfully, Eljay wasn't too sure what he should do to help. Should he mark borders, or like.. find a good rendezvous site? But there probably wouldn't be any pups anytime soon, Wiffle had said, so it made no sense that he would find them a site anyway. Though maybe they needed such a site even without pups, where the adults gathered... Hmm.

Anyway, Eljay dropped his fussing and mindless doing-of-nothing (or rather, exploring the copse) and made his way over to Wildfire. "Hey Wiffle," he said and he smiled at her, then waited for others to arrive and for Wiffle to state her intentions. Eljay only realised he'd called her 'wiffle' after the fact, and he studied her face closely to make sure she didn't mind being called that. After all, it more mommy's nickname for her that he had simply adopted from, well, being around mommy a lot -- okay, fine, all the time -- as a kid.
