Heron Lake Plateau guiding light

Eljay frowned worriedly as Kite said that Owen should stop shaking and he said he would try. It doesn't work that way, Kite, Eljay said, his tone friendly. Let's get moving. Your... You'll feel as if you don't want to move at first, Owen, but you gotta break through that and get going or you'll get colder. Eljay nosed Owen's cheek lovingly before he got up and started to make his way back to the rendezvous site. It seemed the pups had all quieted down and weren't going to run everywhere and nowhere anymore, luckily; they too saw the seriousness of the situation.

Only as he got up and tried to coax the pups to get moving and once they were in motion headed towards the rendezvous site did Eljay realise what Kite had said about Owen's shaking. What did you mean, Kite..? he queried then; With Owen turning out like, uhm.. like you..? It was very hard for Eljay to deal with any pup insecurities because he had so many of his own and he put everyone else, even the children, on a pedestal. It was just really hard for him to imagine any of these perfect angels being anything less than, well, perfect. No matter what happened.
