Sun Mote Copse i just want to be part of your symphony

Eljay was still pretty much waiting for someone to call him out on being a total fraud ever since Wildfire had made him a honoree council member thingymabob. He didn't even know for sure what he was supposed to do as one but Wiffle had assured him that he was already doing it... Whatever that meant. Anyway, things were still pretty good, though the worst of it was starting to settle down. Now that Eljay had some time to think, he realised once more that he was fully unequiped to deal with these kind of situations. Help! Who put him in charge? He needed advice from someone who would know what to do... But who was such a person? The first person that came to mind was mommy, but she was already convinced that he had a crush on Wiffle and even if it was true, he didn't want to face more embarrassment by asking her for how to woo Wiffle. Also, he wasn't entirely confident that mommy, however close to perfect she was, would come up with something Wiffle would actually like that wasn't totally over the top and not-Eljay.

Then there was daddy, but Eljay was not entirely confident that would be a good idea, either. Hmm. Maybe... Should he... Ask Tegan? Eljay frowned at the thought, but it wasn't the worst idea in the world. Tegan was pretty good with the ladies, right? Or maybe he should just do that thing Wiffle said about reaching out to ladies. What was it... The reward was worth the risk? Eljay had somehow hoped that everything would fall into place as soon as the deed was done and all that, but somehow it just really hadn't. Eljay still had no clue what went on in Wiffle's head and what she thought of him, and he had big ??? marks above his head when it came to this whole love thing. The best he could come up with was pick flowers -- a thing made difficult by the snow anyway -- and just tell Wiffle, but there was a catch in the plan even apart from the snow. He was Eljay, after all, and he'd totally stumble over his words and look like a total dweeb.

All these were very first-world-problems for a wolf in winter who had a comfortable pack and was somewhere near the top of the ranks, which made Eljay feel a little guilty.

Uncertain how to fix his problems and sort of hoping that he'd magically run into someone with killer advice, Eljay trudged through the Copse, clearly very lost in thoughts.
