Redhawk Caldera Scared of the big bad wolf

Eljay picked up the stone, eager to give it to Wiffle when he managed his way home to the copse (though this still felt a lot more like home), when he noticed a light figure standing in the distance. He stopped at first and squinted his eyes to see if it was anyone good or bad. His tail twitched anxiously while he tried to decipher it but as soon as he noticed the black paws -- it'd been hard to see at first because of the lingering snow -- Eljay realised that it was someone he hadn't seen in a really long time.

Ghhnnnt! he called out in surprise, voice muffled through the stone. He walked up towards Gannet and dropped the stone there, making sure to keep it between his front paws so that he would not lose it. Blinking in evident surprise, Eljay called out: Wow! It's been super long! Because he had no idea what else to say and was, honestly, rather flabbergasted.
