Sun Mote Copse well, that's gonna cost you extra.

The happy peace didn't last for very long. Eljay thought to hear some rumbles from the ruddy kid's stomach, but he didn't have time to investigate before he started to be loud. Very loud.

Luckily Eljay had plenty of experience with little troublemakers. Raven's kid had been a handful for sure, and maybe that was part of why he was so attached to them: he'd spent a lot of time looking out for them, running after them, trying to comfort them. It was different than pups who were quiet or calm and didn't need much comfort -- especially if they weren't your own.

Now he would've loved the little beans regardless of how loud, quiet, calm or rambunctious they were, because they were his own. When daddy approached it was hard to choose between talking to daddy or comforting the littlest bean. Well. Maybe not that hard. Hold on -- he told dad and with an apologetic expression he started nuzzling Elwood Jr Jr's belly ever so gently, hoping to ease whatever uneases he had by massaging his belly a bit. Meanwhile mommy was silently observing -- an unusual thing -- and to top it all off there was another visitor.

Hi! Eljay called out to Sequoia after lifting his head. He then looked at dad and grinned as he said: Busy. And wonderful. And then he lowered his head again to tend to little Elwood Jr Jr, hoping to ease whatever was bothering him a bit.
