Sun Mote Copse down to the river

@Weejay if you got time <3 edit: woops sorry for the double tag!

Times had been tough and Eljay wasn't entirely sure how to get himself out of the hole he had dug. He felt tired and blah all the time, and wished that he could somehow feel better. There was so much suffering he felt for his children, too. Eljay vividly remembered how terrible it had been when his mommy had left him for like.. a month? He supposed? He didn't exactly remember, but he remembered it felt like she'd been gone forever. Every day he tried to put on a brave face for his children, but every day it was difficult for him and he feared that his true feelings shone through like a blister on one's face. No amount of compeed patches could cover that up.

Elfie seemed to be doing relatively alright for now, but Weejay was sad a lot. Eljay decided to get out of his own sad and do something fun with her today. @Weejay, do you want to go down to the river to play? Eljay asked his daughter, hoping that he could lift her spirits at least a little bit. They both needed it. It was a warm day so it seemed like a good idea to splash around in the water for a bit.
