It was hard to pull himself away from the children. Eljay had counted their toes a hundred times, at the very least, and whenever he needed to leave to provide Wiffle with something he was thinking of them the entire time. As the call sounded, it was no surprise that he was with his children. Eljay nuzzled their bellies lovingly and mumbled: Don't worry, daddy will be right on back. He nuzzled Wiffle's cheek, reassured her he would handle whatever the source of the call was -- though she didn't seem to need reassurance all that much, really -- and then Eljay started making his way towards the borders, from where the call had sounded.

It would probably take a little while longer before he would get to the pair of them, though Eljay moved at a swift gallop because Eljay wasn't called for that often, and when he was, there was usually something urgent going on.
