Sun Mote Copse My blue eyes never looked so green

Clover's response didn't help at all. Eljay was soon on the brink of a full blown panic attack if it wasn't for Wiffle taking him down. Everyone was staring at him and he just didn't know what to say and he wasn't even sure what was going on with him and Wiffle and was everyone still staring at him and right don't forget to breath in out in out --

-- Wifi's calm words brought him back to the real world out of his head a bit. Not so much that she said it was alright, because what did 'alright' even mean? Like was it alright to tell them, or should he pretend everything was cool so they wouldn't find out? Why hadn't they discussed what they would and wouldn't tell everyone else?

But no, it was when Wiffle said that they could talk about it later that gave Eljay some literal breathing space. Some time to think. He stared at everyone as they resumed speaking. Something about honoree ranks and what they meant (a conversation Eljay would funnily enough have later with Wifi, too) but at least Eljay could think clearly again and his breathing was also under control. He no longer looked like he was about to keel over from his hyperventilation. Now he just need a way to get out of here with Wiffle so they could talk about what they would even tell his parents.
