Heron Lake Plateau Halp pls mom

Mommy didn't seem alarmed at all by what he was saying, but then again, she rarely was. She was actually pretty much almost always super serene, now that he thought of it. He bobbed his head in response to her summary and hoped that mommy would come up with some good advice for him, because... Well, because he didn't know what else to do. It didn't seem very likely to him at all that Wiffle wasn't upset about this and that he had nothing to be embarrassed about.

Mommy's next words caught Eljay off guard. Didn't she understand..? He frowned and said: It was super awkward, you're not supposed to cry if -- and you shouldn't say that Wiffle cries a lot because... Yes, Eljay, why even? .. she's gonna be your leader so you should respect her. Eljay instantly felt terrible for taking to his own mother this way. What was wrong with him?! He was quick to correct himself with an under his breath stammered s-sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me! that grew from murmur to spoken out loud as the sentence grew.
